3 Recognize new archive, audio and image formats.
4 Give audio files a separate color.
5 * src/dircolors.hin: Add comments for common .sh and .csh scripts.
6 Add .bz2, .tbz2, .tz, .rar, .ace, .zoo, .cpio, .7z, .rz as archive
7 suffixes. Add .mng, .pcx, .m2v, .mkv, .ogm, .mp4, .m4v, .mp4v, .vob,
8 .qt, .nuv, .wmv, .asf, .rm, .rmvb, .flc, .yuv as image formats.
9 Add .aac, .au, .mid, .midi, .mka, .ra as audio suffixes. Change
10 audio color to 00;36 to differentiate from image/video color.
12 2006-11-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
14 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Compile patched sources with
15 CFLAGS='-Wdeclaration-after-statement -Werror', to ensure that
18 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove 3 bogus hunks.
20 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Remove unused parameter, ds.
23 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust for changes in rm.c and in remove.c.
25 * src/rm.c (main): Remove unnecessary (assuming C99) braces.
27 2006-11-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
29 Port parts of the code to C89 to minimize the need for c99-to-c89.diff,
30 while trying to retain the readability of C99 as much as possible.
31 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove decl of local, fd_cwd.
32 Replace each of two uses with literal AT_FDCWD.
33 (cache_stat_init): Return its argument, for convenience.
34 Update the caller in remove_dir.
35 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Return prev_dir rather than storing through
36 a pointer argument. All uses changed.
37 (AD_ensure_initialized): New function.
38 (AD_mark_helper): Use it, to avoid the need for declaration
40 (rm): Move cycle_check_init call into callee...
42 Use an else clause in place of a "continue" statement.
43 (close_preserve_errno): Remove.
44 (fd_to_subdirp): Rewrite to avoid the need for decl after statement.
46 2006-11-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
48 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove announce-gen from here, too.
50 2006-11-24 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos <thkala@softlab.ece.ntua.gr> (tiny change)
52 * tests/du/inacc-dest: Skip this test when running as root.
54 2006-11-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
56 * announce-gen: Remove file. It's moving to gnulib.
57 * bootstrap: Pull it from gnulib/build-aux instead.
58 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Reflect move to ./build-aux.
60 * tests/du/deref-args: Use "printf %65536s x" to create a 64KB file,
61 rather than a pipeline that would sometimes evoke a diagnostic
62 like "seq: write error: Broken pipe".
64 * tests/help-version: Suppress dd transfer rate output.
66 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.7-pre, not 6.6-pre.
68 2006-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
70 * announce-gen (print_news_deltas): Fix silly, but harmless typo:
71 change "(:?..." to "(?:..." in regexps.
73 Post-release version change.
74 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.7-pre.
75 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.7 and add "-pre" suffix.
78 * NEWS: Record release date. Remove "-pre" suffix.
79 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-pre" suffix from version string.
81 * announce-gen: Remove unused --release-archive-directory option.
82 (print_news_deltas): Accept new adjective, "Noteworthy", in addition
84 Match version numbers in NEWS using tighter regular expressions.
85 (main): Require the --gpg-key-id=ID option.
86 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Don't use now-removed
87 --release-archive-directory=... option.
89 * NEWS: Mention the three noteworthy changes, all fixed via gnulib.
91 2006-11-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
93 * tests/rm/one-file-system: Upon setup failure (e.g., mount failure),
94 skip the test rather than failing. Reported by Michael Deutschmann.
96 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Use the "(exit N); exit N" idiom,
97 rather than just "exit N".
99 Arrange for "make check-root" to run the new root-only test.
100 * tests/Makefile.am (t7): New target, to run tests/ls/nameless-uid.
103 2006-11-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
105 Add a root-only test for today's lib/idcache.c fix.
106 * tests/ls/nameless-uid: New file.
107 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add nameless-uid.
108 (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add PERL to the list.
110 2006-11-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
112 * tests/tail-2/assert-2: Mark as a very-expensive test, because I
113 find the 7-second sleep annoyingly long. Besides, this test is
114 probably far too specific and timing sensitive ever to trigger again.
115 * tests/tail-2/assert: Likewise.
117 Post-release version change.
118 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.6-pre.
119 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.6 and add "-pre" suffix.
122 * NEWS: Record release date. Remove "-cvs" suffix.
123 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
125 2006-11-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
127 "ln --backup f f" produces a misleading diagnostic:
128 ln: creating hard link `f' => `f': No such file or directory
129 * src/ln.c (do_link): Give a better diagnostic in this unusual case.
130 (do_link): Rename local: s/lstat_ok/dest_lstat_ok/.
131 * tests/ln/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-backup.
132 * tests/ln/hard-backup: New test for the above.
133 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
135 2006-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
137 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add sys_stat, since we use it
139 * lib/.cvsignore, lib/.gitignore: Add root-dev-ino.c, root-dev-ino.h.
140 * m4/.cvsignore, m4/.gitignore: Add root-dev-ino.m4.
141 * src/ls.c (DIRED_FPUTS_LITERAL, PUSH_CURRENT_DIRED_POS):
142 Omit unnecessary parenthesization of args.
143 * src/od.c (EQUAL_BLOCKS): Likewise.
144 * src/system.h (STREQ, ASSIGN_STRDUPA): Likewise.
146 2006-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
148 * tests/tail-2/append-only: If chattr +a fails, exit 77 (to tell
149 automake we're skipping this test), and give a diagnostic to tell
150 the user the same thing. Reported by Mike Grayson.
152 2006-11-16 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
154 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Replace all optional manpages
155 with `$(MAN)', computed at configure time; also, list them ...
156 (optional_mans): ... in this new variable.
157 (max_aux, EXTRA_DIST): Ensure that we distribute all manpages.
159 2006-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
161 Help valgrind see that there is no leak in dd.c.
162 * src/dd.c (dd_copy): Declare real_buf and real_obuf to be static,
163 so we need not free them at all. This is easier than freeing
164 both buffers at each of the early "return"s.
166 * src/csplit.c (load_buffer): Plug an inconsequential leak.
168 2006-11-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
170 * .x-po-check: Exclude gl/ files. Otherwise, po-check would
171 complain that some of gl/lib/*.[ch] are not listed in POTFILES.in.
173 2006-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
175 * gl/m4/root-dev-ino.m4: Now that this is part of a real "module",
176 remove the now-unnecessary use of AC_LIBSOURCES.
178 Adapt to new version of gnulib-tool.
179 * gl/modules/root-dev-ino: New file.
180 * lib/root-dev-ino.c, lib/root-dev-ino.h: Move these files ...
181 * gl/lib/root-dev-ino.c, gl/lib/root-dev-ino.h: ... to here.
182 * m4/root-dev-ino.m4: Move this file ...
183 * gl/m4/root-dev-ino.m4: ... to here.
185 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add root-dev-ino.
187 2006-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
189 * src/sort.c (insertkey): Use xmemdup, rather than xmalloc+assignment.
192 Plug another technically-unimportant leak in sort.
193 * src/sort.c (main): Don't allocate memory for each new key here.
194 (insertkey): Allocate memory for each key here, instead.
195 (key_init): Rename from new_key. Don't allocate.
197 * src/sort.c (main): Plug a tiny memory leak.
198 Move declaration of local "minus" down to be nearer point of use.
200 2006-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
202 du would exit early, when encountering an inaccessible directory
203 Reported by Mike Frysinger, in
204 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8831
205 * tests/du/inacc-dest: New test, based on an example from Mike Frysinger.
206 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Remove the "fts_read failed: ..."
207 diagnostic from the expected output when using native fdopendir.
208 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
209 * tests/du/no-x: Likewise.
210 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
211 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inacc-dest.
213 * Makefile.maint (sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value): Add an exclusion
216 Avoid false-positive when testing via valgrind.
217 * tests/mv/atomic: Grep strace output for a more specific pattern
218 than just "unlink", since that got a false positive when testing
219 under valgrind: unlink("/tmp/valgrind_proc_9657_cmdline_A51E9991") = 0
220 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define EGREP.
222 2006-10-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
224 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Make it easier to regenerate
225 the src/c99-to-c89.diff file. E.g., I do this:
226 make patch-check REGEN_PATCH=1; ediff src/c99-to-c89.diff new-diff
228 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets in rm.c.
230 2006-10-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
232 * src/system.h (ftello): Add a compile-time check for the highly
233 unlikely condition of off_t narrower than long int, rather than
234 handling it at run time. Based on a patch from Paul Eggert.
236 2006-10-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
238 * tests/chmod/c-option: When double-quoting part of a word, prefer
239 to double-quote the whole word. This is a bit easier to read (at
240 least for me), and in some cases it avoids a shell bug with Tru64
241 4.0 sh reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe. For example, instead of
242 "$abs_srcdir"/../setgid-check we now write
243 "$abs_srcdir/../setgid-check".

259 * tests/rm/unread3: Likewise.
260 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Likewise.
262 * lib/.cvsignore: Add uinttostr.c.
264 2006-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
266 Portability to Tru64 V4.0.
267 * src/system.h (ftello) [!HAVE_FSEEKO && !defined ftello]:
268 Define inline replacement function.
269 This (along with a yesterday's fix for autoconf's
270 _AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_MACRO_VALUE macro) makes it so coreutils
271 now builds once more on Tru64 V4.0. Reported by Nelson Beebe.
273 2006-10-25 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
275 * src/cat.c (infile): Add "const" to declaration.

288 * src/tac.c (separator, tac_seekable, copy_to_temp): Likewise.
290 2006-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
292 * tests/sample-test: Update copyright year list to include only
293 the current year, since this is what I'll want in any new test.
295 2006-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
297 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
299 * NEWS: new feature: rm accepts new option: --one-file-system
300 Suggested by Steve McIntyre in <http://bugs.debian.org/392925>.
301 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options) [one_file_system]: New member.
302 * src/rm.c (rm_option_init): Initialize it.
303 (usage): Document the option.
304 * src/mv.c (rm_option_init): Likewise.
305 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): With --one-file-system and --recursive,
306 for each directory command line argument, do not affect a file system
307 different from that of the starting directory. And give a diagnostic.
308 * src/rm.c (ONE_FILE_SYSTEM): New enum.
309 (main): Handle new option.
310 * tests/rm/one-file-system: Test the above.
311 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add one-file-system.
312 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add the rm/one-file-system
314 (EXTRA_DIST): Add other-fs-tmpdir.
316 * tests/mv/setup: Removed. Renamed to...
317 * tests/other-fs-tmpdir: ...this new file.
318 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove setup.
319 * tests/mv/acl: Reflect renaming: use ../other-fs-tmpdir.

332 Don't let a failure in one test stop "make -k" from running the others.
333 * tests/Makefile.am (t1 t2 t3 t4 t5): New targets.
334 (check-root): Depend on them, rather than executing the five
335 commands in a single rule. Reported by Greg Schafer.
337 2006-10-23 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
339 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Use a better log message for
340 the automatic commit of .prev-version.
342 2006-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
344 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Undo last change, since it made Perl invoke
345 pwd via a shell. Instead, ensure that the absolute name of the
346 pwd binary consists solely of reasonable characters.
347 Whoops. Don't exec the perl script. Otherwise, the sh-trap-based
348 clean-up code isn't run.
350 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.5-cvs.
351 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.5 and add "-cvs" suffix.
353 2006-10-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
357 * NEWS: Record the 6.4 release date.
358 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
360 * Makefile.maint: Complete the adaptation to function with a working
361 directory that is using git (rather than cvs) for version control.
363 2006-10-22 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

586 2006-10-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
588 * NEWS: (cp --backup fix): Fix a typo.
590 * .gitignore: Remove some references to files in subdirectories.
591 * build-aux/.gitignore, doc/.gitignore, lib/.gitignore: New files.
592 * m4/.gitignore, po/.gitignore, src/.gitignore: Likewise.
594 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add a comment saying why we prefer
597 Enable an fts optimization (call lstat only for directories,
598 on some file system types) also with the --preserve-root option
600 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Compare fts_statp-based
601 dev/ino against root dev/ino only for directories.
602 (chown_files): Don't let the root_dev_ino setting influence whether
603 we use FTS_NOSTAT: fts always sets *fts_statp for a directory.
605 2006-10-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
607 * src/od.c (usage): Change description of default to use "-w16",
608 not the now-invalid "-w 16" syntax. From Dan Jacobson.
610 2006-10-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
612 * bootstrap: Add names to each .gitignore file (if it exists)
613 as well as to .cvsignore.
615 * Makefile.maint (po-check): This rule didn't detect the new use
616 of "gettext" (as opposed to the use of "_" everywhere else) in
617 lib/xstrtol.h. Adjust the grep regexp so that now it does.
619 2006-10-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
621 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Rewrite slightly to avoid duplicate code
622 when opening dst_name.
623 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use (SYSCALL != 0) rather than plain
624 (SYSCALL) to test for failure in a system call.
626 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Use mknod rather than mkfifo to copy
627 a fifo. This preserves the special mode bits on Solaris 10, which
628 is compatible with what Solaris 10 cp -R does.
630 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Remove redundant and confusing local
633 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass mkdir a mode greater than
634 7777. This matches historical 'cp' behavior and avoids some
635 (though not all) implementation-defined behavior of mkdir.
636 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Likewise.
637 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't pass 'open' a mode greater
638 than 777. This is required by POSIX. It doesn't make any difference
639 in actual behavior on any host that I know of.
641 2006-10-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
643 * src/dd.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
644 "fdatasync" option string from its description, so help2man formats
645 the derived man page properly. Reported by Samuel Thibault
646 in <http://bugs.debian.org/393649>.
648 2006-10-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
650 * .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove names of files that are no longer
653 2006-10-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
655 * src/groups.sh (version): Reword message to match the other programs.
656 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
658 2006-10-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
660 * Makefile.maint (headers_with_interesting_macro_defs): Define.
661 (.re-defmac, sc_always_defined_macros): New rules.
663 * src/system.h (EXIT_FAILURE, EXIT_SUCCESS): Remove definitions.
664 Instead, include "exit.h". This hereby retires the work-around for
665 "Sony NEWS-OS Release 4.0C"'s bug due to "#define EXIT_FAILURE 0".
667 * src/cksum.c (uint_fast32_t): Don't define.
668 Instead, include <stdint.h>.
670 * src/pinky.c (S_IWGRP): Don't define.
671 It's already defined by "stat-macros.h" (included via system.h).
673 * Makefile.cfg: Remove cruft that's now handled via bootstrap.
674 * Makefile.maint: Likewise, remove these targets/rules/variables:
675 (local_updates, update, cvs-update, wget_files, get-targets): Remove.
676 (cvs_files, wget-update, automake_repo): Likewise.
677 Move the comment about cvsu to build-aux/vc-list-files,
678 where cvsu is actually used.
680 * Makefile.maint (cvs-update): Use $(CVS), not "cvs".
682 Work also when the working directory (with e.g. coreutils sources)
683 is version controlled with git, rather than CVS.
684 * bootstrap (CVS_only_file): Test for the existence of README-cvs,
686 In messages and comments, say e.g., "checked-out sources",
687 rather than "CVS sources".
688 (version_controlled_file): New function. Work for git as well as
689 for CVS. Don't use grep's -q option.
690 (slurp): Call it here, in place of CVS-specific code.
692 * NEWS: cp -r --backup dir1 dir2, would rename an existing dir1/dir2
694 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Although we do create a backup of each
695 destination directory when in move mode, don't do that when copying.
696 Reported by Peter Breitenlohner, in
697 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8616>.
698 * tests/cp/backup-dir: New file. Test for the above.
699 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add backup-dir.
701 2006-10-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
703 More chown/chgrp dereferencing-related fixes.
704 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Don't use fts_statp if
705 we're dereferencing symlinks.
706 Reverse conjuncts, so that we use dereference file_stats
707 (aka ent->fts_statp) only *after* we've confirmed that
708 chopt->affect_symlink_referent is true. Otherwise, we might
709 use ent->fts_statp uninitialized.
710 Don't turn on FTS_NOSTAT when dereferencing symlinks.
711 * tests/chown/deref: Update the expected diagnostic, now that
712 this test case (trying to use "chown --dereference ..." on a
713 dangling symlink) takes a different code path.
715 2006-10-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
717 Sync from Bison, as follows:
719 2006-10-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
721 Fix problems with translating English-language diagnostics.
722 * bootstrap: Fix bug introduced in recent bootstrap changes, with
723 respect to bison-runtime pot generation. The YY_ stuff
724 wasn't being captured.
726 2006-10-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
728 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Use fstatat, not stat,
729 now that we're using fts_open with FTS_CWDFD.
730 * tests/chgrp/posix-H: Add --preserve-root to an invocation of
731 chgrp, to exercise the above fix.
732 * NEWS: Mention the above.
734 * src/du-tests: Clean up a little, though it's still not portable.
736 * .vg-suppressions: Add 3 more for debian unstable.
738 * tests/ls/Test.pm: Remove long-unused file.
739 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add bootstrap.conf.
740 Suggestions from Bruno Haible.
742 2006-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
744 * Makefile.am (THANKS-to-translators): Add missing $(srcdir).
745 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add .kludge-stamp.
746 * man/Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Typo $(dist_man_MANS)
747 instead of $(man_MANS).
749 2006-10-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
751 * configure.ac: Avoid compiler warnings about default return
752 type in function definitions and unused variables in tests.
753 * src/who.c (print_user) [HAVE_UT_HOST]: hostlen is only needed
756 2006-10-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
758 * configure.ac: Reflect s/gl_MACROS/coreutils_MACROS/ renaming.
759 Call gl_INIT directly, rather than through the above.
761 2006-10-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
763 * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): Fix bug: the dot_dots shell
764 variable was sometimes used without being initialized. This
765 messed up the installation of the INSTALL file in some cases.
767 2006-10-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
769 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct description of -s, --size.
770 It works even without -l. Suggestion from Karl Berry.
772 2006-10-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
774 * src/ls.c (quote_name): Use initializer rather than memset to
775 initialize an object to zero. This is easier to read and is less
776 likely to introduce a runtime error due to a mixup. It causes
777 gcc -W to issue a warning, but you can work around this by
778 appending -Wno-missing-field-initializers.
779 * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Likewise.
780 * src/shred.c (main): Likewise.
781 * src/stty.c (main): Likewise.
782 * src/tr.c (card_of_complement): Likewise.
783 * src/wc.c (wc): Likewise.
785 2006-10-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
787 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention again that sort fields are origin 1.
789 * NEWS: Fix typo: iso-8602 -> iso-8601. Problem reported by
792 * bootstrap (usage, main program, symlink_to_gnulib): Add option
793 --copy. Inspired by a suggestion from Bruno Haible.
795 2006-10-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
797 Avoid a compiler warning.
798 * src/pathchk.c (portable_chars_only): Initialize variable of type
799 mbstate_t via memset, rather than via '{0}'. Patch from Bruno Haible.
801 2006-10-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
803 Fix bug reported today by Mike Frysinger: mkdir -pv is logging the
804 wrong file name in some cases. Lars Wendler reported a bug in
806 * src/install.c (make_ancestor): New arg COMPONENT.
807 * src/mkdir.c (make_ancestor): Likewise.
808 * tests/install/basic-1: Check for install -Dv bug.
809 * tests/mkdir/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add p-v.
810 * tests/mkdir/p-v: New file, to test this bug.
812 2006-10-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
814 * src/chgrp.c: Don't include lchown.h; no longer needed.
815 * src/chown.c: Likewise.
817 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use a dynamic test to decide whether the
818 current file system has useful d_type info.
820 * src/dd.c (flags): noatime and nofollow now depend on
821 HAVE_WORKING_O_NOATIME and HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW, too.
822 (usage): Output info about noatime and nofollow only if
823 they are known to work.
824 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Inspect HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW rather
825 than O_NOFOLLOW, when testing whether it's possible to avoid a
826 race condition reliably.
828 2006-10-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
830 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
832 * tests/install/basic-1: Skip the latter part of this test if the
833 just-built dd binary is not readable. Otherwise, this test would fail
834 when binaries were created as root. Reported by Bauke Jan Douma in
835 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/8433>.
837 2006-10-03 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
839 * src/system.h (ST_BLKSIZE): Ceiling at SIZE_MAX / 8 + 1, not at 4
840 MiB, since XFS hosts can legitimately have large values of
841 st_blksize. Problem reported by Tony Ernst in
842 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17903>.
844 2006-10-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
846 * src/remove.c (nonexistent_file_errno): Remove ENAMETOOLONG.
847 Paul Eggert pointed out that the specified file may exist,
848 in spite of such an errno value.
849 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Remove ignore-name-too-long.
850 * tests/rm/ignore-name-too-long: Remove file.
851 * NEWS: Update here, too.
853 2006-10-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
855 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Report failure also if rm is terminated by
858 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Convert two c99'isms -- one in remove.c
859 and one in shred.c -- that were added before coreutils-6.3.
860 Reported by Michael Deutschmann.
862 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to reflect new offsets.
864 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): With -f, exit successfully in spite
865 of a missing file under some very unusual conditions (with errno
866 being any of ENOENT, ENOTDIR, ENAMETOOLONG).
868 With --force (-f), rm no longer fails for ENOTDIR.
869 * src/remove.c (ignorable_missing): New function.
870 Use it everywhere, rather than open-coding the test.
871 Andreas Schwab reported the ENOTDIR problem.
872 (ignorable_missing): Similarly, don't fail for ENAMETOOLONG.
874 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
875 * tests/rm/ignorable: New file. Test for the ENOTDIR case.
876 * tests/rm/ignore-name-too-long: New file. Test for ENAMETOOLONG.
877 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add the new file names.
879 * bootstrap: Undo last change to this file, since now gnulib-tool
880 sticks with the automake default in generating dependencies.
882 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.4-cvs.
883 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.4 and add "-cvs" suffix.
885 2006-09-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
888 * NEWS: Record the 6.3 release date.
889 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
891 * NEWS: Mention Paul's Solaris 8 vs. 10 work-around.
893 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets.
895 2006-09-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
897 * tests/rm/readdir-bug: Don't use $(...) in a shell script,
898 as it doesn't work with Solaris /bin/sh.
900 2006-09-29 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
902 * NEWS: Mention Paul's fix (to gnulib's canon-host.c) for
905 * tests/seq/basic [neg-2, eq-wid-2]: Comment out tests that
906 use .1 as the increment. Actual output varies too much.
907 [eq-wid-3]: New, commented out test.
909 * src/shuf.c (read_input): Fix an off-by-one error that
910 would cause an infloop for piped input of 8KB or more.
911 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
912 * tests/misc/shuf: Test for the above fix.
914 Since any system may be affected by the Darwin readdir bug,
915 perform the extra rewinddir unconditionally. The performance
916 impact of rewinding a directory is negligible.
917 * src/remove.c (NEED_REWIND): Define to use
918 CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD unconditionally.
920 * tests/seq/basic: Use .11 as the upper bound, in case the ".1"
921 increment translates to a slightly larger value.
922 This corrects a test failure on FreeBSD 6.1 reported by Nelson Beebe.
923 The final expected value wasn't being printed.
925 Work around a readdir bug in Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9) on HFS+
926 and NFS, whereby rm would not remove all files in a directory.
927 * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Reduce to 10.
928 (NEED_REWIND): New macro, so that we incur the cost of the work-around
929 rewinddir only on afflicted systems.
930 * NEWS: Clarify and correct.
931 * tests/rm/readdir-bug: New file. Test for the above fix.
932 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
933 Prompted by testing and analysis from Bruno Haible:
934 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-09/msg00326.html
936 2006-09-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
938 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Unset BASH_ENV, CDPATH, and ENV, too;
939 suggested for Debian stable, which uses Perl 5.8.4.
941 2006-09-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
943 Automatically generated dependencies are important even
944 when all of the sources in a directory come from gnulib.
945 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool): Remove the "no-dependencies" automake
946 option that gnulib-tool adds to what becomes our lib/gnulib.mk.
948 * tests/rm/fail-eperm: Enable Perl's (-T) taint checking.
949 Ensure that IFS is set properly and unset PATH.
951 Work properly even when the name of the selected file starts with "-".
952 Invoke rm via "../../src/rm", and adjust expected output.
953 Prompted by a patch from Tim Waugh.
955 * README-cvs: Add Bison to the list of required packages.
957 2006-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
959 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update offsets.
961 * NEWS: rm works around a bug in Darwin 8.6.1 w/NFS that kept
962 it from removing a directory containing 188 or more entries.
963 * src/remove.c (CONSECUTIVE_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): Decrease by
964 20, go work around the buggy readdir on Darwin 8.6.1 with NFS.
965 Reported by Matthew Woehlke.
967 2006-09-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
969 * NEWS: "groups user" no longer outputs "user :"; you need at least
970 two users. "groups" now processes options like --help more compatibly.
971 * src/groups.sh: Implement the option-processing change.
972 Handle user and group names with special characters more robustly.
973 Report write errors instead of exiting silently with status 1.
975 2006-09-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
977 * README: Warn not to run autoreconf manually. Use bootstrap instead.
979 * src/groups.sh: When invoked with 0 or 1 argument, just exec "id".
980 Rewrite to avoid using temporary, $status.
982 * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
983 * src/groups.sh: Don't hide a write failure.
984 Reported by Iain Calder <ic56@rogers.com>.
986 2006-09-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
988 * src/chown.c (usage): Clarify --dereference description.
989 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise. Suggestion from Jamie McClelland.
991 2006-09-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
993 * NEWS: Mention these fixes.
994 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): With --verbose (-v), print
995 "removed `file_name'" just after unlinking a file.
996 (copy_internal): Likewise, in three more places.
997 Marc Lehman reported that "touch x; ln x y; mv -v x y" was silent.
998 * tests/mv/hard-verbose: New file. Test for the above fix.
999 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add hard-verbose.
1001 * tests/help-version (sync_args): Don't call sync, since it spins up
1002 disks that I've deliberately caused to spin down (but not unmounted).
1004 * NEWS: Mention the improvement to sort.
1006 * tests/tail-2/proc-ksyms: Require that /proc/ksyms be readable
1007 as well as existing.
1009 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Don't use tmpfs on linux-2.4 or older,
1010 since that predated addition of d_type support.
1012 2006-09-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1014 * gl/modules/getloadavg.diff: New file. Work around the way the latest
1015 version of the getloadavg module interacts with our bootstrap script.
1016 * bootstrap (gnulib_tool_options): Add "--local-dir gl".
1017 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Sort file names.
1018 Add bootstrap and gl/modules/getloadavg.diff
1020 2006-09-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1022 * bootstrap: Add support for --force.
1023 (usage): New function. Describe usage less tersely.
1024 (CVS_only_file): New var.
1026 * NEWS: Document fix for cp -i and mv -i.
1027 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): With -i, prompt even if the source
1028 is a directory and the destination is not. This is required by
1029 POSIX and gives the user a chance to bail out before failing.
1030 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-i.
1031 * tests/cp/cp-i: New file.
1032 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add i-5.
1033 * tests/mv/i-5: New file.
1035 2006-09-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1037 * NEWS: Mention the chmod bug fix.
1039 * tests/chmod/inaccessible: New test, specifically for this bug.
1040 Based on a test case from Paul Eggert.
1041 * tests/chmod/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add inaccessible.
1043 Fix the 2006-09-18 bug differently.
1044 * src/chmod.c: (process_file): Upon FTS_NS for a top-level file,
1045 tell fts_read to stat the file again, in case it has become
1046 accessible since the initial fts_open call.
1047 * src/chown-core.c (change_file_owner): Likewise.
1049 * src/chmod.c: Revert last change. There is a better way.
1050 * src/chown-core.c: Likewise.
1052 2006-09-19 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1054 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand): Rewrite to avoid porting
1055 problem on Tandem reported by Matthew Woehlke in
1056 <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17172>.
1058 2006-09-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1060 Fix bug where chmod, chown, and chgrp did not process operands
1061 left-to-right in some cases.
1062 * src/chmod.c (wd_errno): New var.
1063 (chmod_file): New function, with most of the contents of the
1064 old prcess_file function.
1065 (process_files): Use it. This gives file names to fts one
1066 at a time, so that they are processed left-to-right as POSIX
1068 * src/chown-core.c (wd_errno, chown_files): Likewise.
1069 (chown_file): New function.
1070 * tests/install/basic-1: Redo test so as to not workaround
1071 the chmod bug, thereby testing for it.
1073 * src/shuf.c (main): Quote the entire range when reporting an
1074 invalid one, rather than just the part that contained the error.
1076 * tests/stty/row-col-1: Rewrite to avoid temporary file that is
1077 sometimes left behind if the test is skipped or interrupted.
1079 * bootstrap (symlink_to_gnulib): New function.
1080 (cp_mark_as_generated): Use it, to prefer symlinks-to-gnulib
1081 to copies-of-gnulib.
1082 (cp_mark_as_generated, slurp, gnulib_files):
1083 Avoid making a copy if it's the same as the old version.
1084 (gnulib_files): Add support for this variable (used by Bison).
1086 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Fix quoting problem in diagnostic
1087 indicating flaw in kernel. Reword to say that the flaw isn't
1088 serious for coreutils, since the flaw does affect ls -i.
1090 * tests/chgrp/basic: Fix bug in test case exposed by building on
1091 Solaris 8 in a setgid directory. The test case incorrectly
1092 assumed that 'symlink' would be in group $g1.
1094 2006-09-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1096 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.3-cvs.
1097 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.3 and add "-cvs" suffix.
1100 * NEWS: Record the 6.2 release date.
1101 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
1103 2006-09-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1105 * tests/chgrp/basic: On an OpenBSD system, rather than failing
1106 due to a known problem, merely warn about it.
1107 Rewrite to avoid testing output of chgrp --verbose and chgrp -c.
1108 Instead, use stat to test file system for desired results, directly.
1109 * tests/chgrp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set host_triplet.
1111 * tests/envvar-check: Add more variable names to the list of those
1112 that can affect these programs and tests: _POSIX2_VERSION, COLUMNS,
1113 QUOTING_STYLE, TABSIZE, TERM, TMPDIR.
1115 2006-09-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1117 * NEWS: Document that mkdir -p and install -d now fork on occasion.
1118 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add savewd.
1119 * src/install.c: Include savewd.h.
1120 (process_dir): New function.
1121 (main, install_file_in_file_parents): Use it, along with the new
1122 savewd module, to avoid some race conditions.
1123 * src/mkdir.c: Include savewd.h.
1124 (struct mkdir_options): New members make_ancestor_function, mode,
1126 (make_ancestor): Return 1 if the resulting directory is not readable.
1127 (process_dir): New function.
1128 (main): Use it, along with new savewd module, to avoid some
1129 race conditions. Fill in new slots of struct mkdir_options, so
1130 that callees get the values.
1131 * tests/install/basic-1: Test for coreutils 5.97 bug that was
1132 fixed in coreutils 6.0, and which should still be fixed with
1134 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise.
1136 2006-09-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1138 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add rename-dest-slash.
1139 The 2006-09-08 changes made it so "mv dir new-name/" would
1140 fail on NetBSD 1.6. This makes it work once again.
1142 2006-09-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1144 * src/mv.c (main): Remove unnecessary (always-true) test for 2 <= n.
1145 Instead, since it's a little fragile, assert the condition.
1146 (target_directory_operand): Update comment to reflect latest change.
1148 2006-09-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1150 * src/who.c (print_user): Rewrite to avoid warning from
1151 GCC 4.1.1 with -Wall.
1153 2006-09-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1155 * tests/mv/atomic: Check for specific strace output, rather than
1156 simply nonempty. RHEL AS 4 would fail this test due to strace
1157 generating "[ Process PID=14434 runs in 32 bit mode. ]".
1158 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
1160 2006-09-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1162 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Move new cache_stat_init call onto
1164 (rm_1): Move declaration of "st" and new cache_stat_init call
1165 "down" to nearer where they're used.
1166 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add another set of curly braces.
1168 2006-09-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1170 * src/expr.c (eval6): Fix buffer overrun, or bad performance, if
1171 substr's last operand is very large. Performance problem reported
1174 2006-09-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1176 * Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4): Don't hang when there
1178 (sc_require_config_h): Skip this test if there are no version-
1179 controlled .c files.
1180 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): Likewise.
1182 2006-09-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1184 * bootstrap: Export CVS_RSH separate from its assignment, to work
1185 even with Solaris 10's /bin/sh. Suggestion from Mark D. Baushke.
1187 2006-09-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1189 * NEWS: tail now ignores the -f option if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set,
1190 no file operand is given, and standard input is any FIFO.
1191 This is in response to Open Group XCU ERN 114.
1192 * src/tail.c (main): Likewise.
1194 2006-09-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1196 mv and "cp -r" no longer fail when invoked with two arguments
1197 where the first one names a directory and the second name ends in
1198 a slash and doesn't exist. E.g., "mv dir B/", for nonexistent B,
1199 now succeeds, once more. This reverts part of the 2004-06-27
1201 * NEWS: Say the above.
1202 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand): Don't require (here)
1203 that the target operand "look like" a directory. This change
1204 pushes the test down to the rename syscall level, where a
1205 "mv dir existing-non-dir/" will mistakenly succeed on older systems
1206 that ignore trailing slashes in the rename destination argument.
1207 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Likewise, but for cp.
1208 * tests/mv/trailing-slash: Exercise the above fixes.
1209 * tests/cp/trailing-slash: New file.
1210 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add trailing-slash.
1212 * bootstrap: Use the previously unused variable, $src,
1213 to avoid repeating "$GNULIB_SRCDIR/$file".
1215 * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't use "local", to
1216 accommodate ancient "/bin/sh". Suggested by Ralf Wildenhues.
1217 Rename now-global "$src" and "$dst" to have cp_ prefix.
1218 Safer, and avoids confusion.
1220 * bootstrap (cp_mark_as_generated): New function.
1221 (slurp): Use it to prepend editor hints and a warning that
1222 the file we're copying is generated.
1223 Suggestion from Bruce Korb.
1224 (cp_mark_as_generated): Don't add C-style comments for .l or .y files.
1225 Fix last-minute typo.
1227 2006-09-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1229 * bootstrap: Revert last change. There are less disruptive ways
1230 to mark these generated files as read-only.
1232 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Update to have proper offsets.
1234 2006-09-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1236 Ensure that some gnulib-tool-generated files are read-only.
1237 * bootstrap (slurp): Put the body of this function in a sub-shell,
1238 with "umask a-w" so that all new files are read-only. Remove each
1239 file before we write to it, in case it's read-only.
1240 Make po/Makevars and runtime-po/Makevars read-only, too.
1242 2006-09-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1244 * tests/cp/acl: Skip this test when cp lacks ACL support.
1245 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $(CONFIG_HEADER).
1247 * src/c99-to-c89.diff (remove.c): Adapt one hunk to match the new
1248 context from change of 2006-09-02.
1250 2006-09-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1252 * README-cvs: Fix typo in update command.
1254 2006-09-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1256 * NEWS: Tweak the wording in the new change description so that
1257 no one can think this change causes e.g., `rm -fr foo../' to fail.
1259 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Adjust for movement of config.h to lib/.
1260 Use $CONFIG_HEADER, rather than hard-coding it.
1261 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Set $CONFIG_HEADER.
1263 2006-09-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1265 * NEWS: rm now rejects attempts to remove /, ./, and ../.
1266 * src/basename.c: Don't include dirname.h, since system.h does it now.
1267 * src/chmod.c: Likewise.
1268 * src/copy.c: Likewise.
1269 * src/cp.c: Likewise.
1270 * src/df.c: Likewise.
1271 * src/dircolors.c: Likewise.
1272 * src/dirname.c: Likewise.
1273 * src/du.c: Likewise.
1274 * src/install.c: Likewise.
1275 * src/ln.c: Likewise.
1276 * src/ls.c: Likewise.
1277 * src/mkdir.c: Likewise.
1278 * src/mv.c: Likewise.
1279 * src/remove.c: Likewise.
1280 * src/rm.c: Likewise.
1281 * src/rmdir.c: Likewise.
1282 * src/shred.c: Likewise.
1283 * src/split.c: Likewise.
1284 * src/su.c: Likewise.
1285 * src/system.h: Include "dirname.h", since dot_or_dotdot needs it
1287 (dot_or_dotdot): Succeed even if "." or ".." is followed by a
1289 * src/rm.c (usage, main): --preserve-root is now the default.
1290 * src/remove.h: Fix comment.
1291 * src/remove.c (cache_fstatat, cache_stat_init): New functions.
1292 (cache_statted, cache_stat_ok): New functions.
1293 (write_protected_non_symlink): Remove struct stat ** buf_p arg,
1294 which is no longer needed with the new functions. All callers
1296 (prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry, remove_dir):
1297 New struct stat * arg. All callers changed.
1298 (write_protected_non_symlink, prompt, is_dir_lstat, remove_entry):
1299 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir, rm_1):
1300 Use and maintain the file status cache.
1301 (prompt, remove_entry): Omit the first "directory" in the diagnostic
1302 "Cannot remove directory `foo': is a directory". This causes "rm"
1303 to pass a test case that it would otherwise fail now that it
1304 "knows" more about its argument. I think the diagnostic is better
1305 without the first "directory" anyway.
1306 (prompt): Remove the no-longer-needed IS_DIR arg; all callers changed.
1307 (rm_1): Reject attempts to remove /, ./, or ../.
1308 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add r-4.
1309 * tests/rm/r-4: New file.
1311 2006-09-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1313 * src/stat.c: Include <stddef.h>
1314 (alignof): New macro.
1315 (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL, HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL):
1317 (STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_IS_INTEGER): New macro.
1319 (print_statfs): If f_fsid isn't an integer, grab its words one
1320 at a time in little-endian order. This is a bit easier to configure
1321 and should avoid a compilation failure on MacOS reported by Bruno
1324 2006-08-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1326 * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID_VAL, FSID_VAL): New macros, to
1327 work around a Mac OS X porting problem reported by Bruno Haible in
1328 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00308.html>.
1329 (print_statfs): Use them.
1331 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add isapipe.
1332 * src/tail.c: Include isapipe.h.
1333 (IS_PIPE_LIKE_FILE_TYPE): Remove.
1334 (IS_TAILABLE_FILE_TYPE): Just list both FIFOs and sockets as
1335 tailable, since this seems to be portable.
1336 (main): Use isapipe, to fix a bug on MacOS X reported by Bruno Haible in
1337 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00304.html>.
1339 * src/system.h (LOCALEDIR): Remove, since configmake.h now defines
1342 2006-08-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1344 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't test whether macros like
1345 S_ISLNK are defined, since they're always defined now.
1346 * src/cp.c (main): Likewise.
1347 * src/ln.c (main): Likewise.
1348 * src/ls.c (get_link_name, make_link_name): Likewise.
1349 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
1350 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Likewise.
1351 * src/who.c (S_IWGRP): Likewise.
1353 Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the gnulib module.
1354 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add fcntl.
1355 * src/system.h (SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END): Remove. Other code
1356 is already assuming these macros are defined.
1357 (O_DIRECT, O_DIRECTORY, O_DSYNC, O_NDELAY, O_NOATIME, O_NONBLOCK):
1358 (O_NOCTTY, O_NOFOLLOW, O_NOLINKS, O_RSYNC, O_SYNC, O_BINARY, O_TEXT):
1359 Remove; the fcntl module now handles these.
1361 Adjust to recent gnulib changes for the inttypes module.
1362 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove stdint; add inttypes.
1363 (excluded_files): Don't exclude m4/inttypes-h.m4 or m4/inttypes-pri.m4.
1365 * src/system.h: Don't bother to include <stdint.h>, since we can
1366 now assume inttypes.h does the equivalent of including stdint.h.
1368 2006-08-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1370 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't make a backup if the last
1371 component of the source name is "." or "..".
1372 Reported by Andreas Schwab in http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?17540.
1373 * NEWS: Mention this.
1374 * tests/cp/src-base-dot: New file. Test for the above fix.
1375 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add src-base-dot.
1377 * src/system.h (DOT_OR_DOTDOT): Remove macro. Rewrite as a...
1378 (dot_or_dotdot): ...new static inline function.
1379 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Reflect this renaming.
1380 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
1382 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Add comments.
1384 2006-08-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1386 * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove -I$(srcdir) and -I../lib,
1387 since Automake supplies them for us. It always did -I$(srcdir),
1388 and with the recent change to AC_CONFIG_HEADERS in configure.ac it
1389 is now also doing -I../lib.
1391 * bootstrap (get_translations): Skip this if WGET_COMMAND is empty.
1392 Fail if the first "echo" fails. Suppress diagnostics from "ls po/*.po"
1393 since there might not be any .po files.
1394 (WGET_COMMAND): Set to empty if wget doesn't
1395 seem to be available.
1397 2006-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1399 This test was failing in some environments.
1400 * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: Don't rely on eval "`dircolors -b`"
1401 to set LS_COLORS in the environment.
1402 * tests/envvar-check: Instead, ensure that LS_COLORS is not set.
1403 Reported by Bob Proulx.
1405 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove hunk for copy.c; no longer needed.
1407 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove these files here, too:
1408 .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h, .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use,
1409 .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
1411 Fix "mv --verbose --backup" so its output includes the
1412 " (backup: foo.~1~)" suffix also when backing up a directory.
1413 * NEWS: Report this bug fix.
1414 * src/copy.c (emit_verbose): New function, factored out of...
1415 (copy_internal): ...here. Use the new function.
1416 * tests/mv/backup-dir: Test for the above fix.
1417 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add backup-dir.
1419 2006-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1421 * .x-sc_no_if_have_config_h: Remove; no longer needed.
1422 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: Remove; it was empty.
1423 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: Likewise.
1424 * Makefile.maint (sc_no_have_config_h): Renamed from
1425 sc_no_if_have_config_h, since it now checks that HAVE_CONFIG_H
1426 is absent everywhere.
1427 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add config-h.
1428 * src/shred.c: Include <config.h> unconditionally, since
1429 we now assume config.h exists.
1430 * src/dircolors.c: Likewise.
1432 2006-08-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1434 "ls --color" would highlight other-writable and sticky directories
1435 no differently than regular directories on a file system with
1436 dirent.d_type support.
1437 * NEWS: Say the above.
1438 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): With --color, also stat the file when
1439 we know it is a directory.
1440 Derived from an anonymous one-line fix and bug report:
1441 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?15043>.
1442 * tests/ls/color-dtype-dir: New file. Test for the above fix.
1443 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add color-dtype-dir.
1445 2006-08-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1447 * .cvsignore: Remove stamp-h1. Add coreutils-*, to ignore
1449 * bootstrap.conf: Add configmake, verify.
1450 * src/.cvsignore: Remove localedir.h.
1451 * src/Makefile.am (localedir, DISTCLEANFILES, localedir.h): Remove;
1452 subsumed by configmake.
1453 * src/system.h: Include configmake.h rather than localedir.h
1454 (LOCALEDIR): New macro.
1456 Rewrite to avoid some unnecessary casts, macros, literals.
1457 * src/shred.c (DEFAULT_PASSES, VERBOSE_UPDATE): Now constants,
1459 (SECTOR_SIZE, SECTOR_MASK): New constants.
1460 (fillpattern, dopass, do_wipefd, main): Remove unnecessary casts,
1461 and use the SECTOR_* constants when applicable. Check for size <
1462 0 rather than size == -1, since negative-size files are a sign of
1465 2006-08-25 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
1467 * src/shred.c (dopass): Assume a continuable error if EIO even
1468 if the current position is not a multiple of 512.
1470 2006-08-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1472 * src/stat.c (print_statfs): Fix typo: remove extra "sizeof".
1474 2006-08-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1476 * src/stat.c (HAVE_STRUCT_STATXFS_F_FSID___VAL): Define. This
1477 macro was being used without being defined.
1478 (SB_F_NAMEMAX): Remove cast.
1479 (f_fsid) [BeOS]: Likewise.
1480 (OUT_NAMEMAX): Renamed from NAMEMAX_FORMAT, with a new meaning.
1482 (out_string, out_int, out_uint, out_uint_o, out_uint_x): New
1484 (xstrcat): Remove. All uses changed to use the above functions.
1485 (print_statfs, print_stat): 2nd arg is now the prefix len, not the
1486 buffer len. All uses changed. Output '?', not '*', for unknown
1487 data or errors. Do not assume signed values can be interchanged
1488 with unsigned when printing.
1489 (print_statfs): For %i, print the fsid as a single int, not as a
1491 (print_it): Quote invalid format better.
1493 * NEWS: printf supports the I flag.
1494 * src/printf.c (print_formatted) [glibc 2.2 or later]: Likewise.
1496 2006-08-23 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
1498 * src/stat.c (STRUCT_STATVFS, statfs, f_fsid, f_blocks, f_bfree) [BeOS]:
1499 (f_bavail, f_bsize, STATFS_FRSIZE, f_files, f_ffree) [BeOS]:
1500 (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME) [BeOS]: Define.
1502 * src/ls.c (SA_RESTART): Fallback define.
1504 2006-08-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1506 * src/system.h (EDQUOT): Define if not already defined.
1507 Problem reported by Bruno Haible for BeOS.
1509 * .cvsignore: Remove config.h, config.hin, as they are now
1511 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_HEADERS): Move config.h and config.hin
1513 * src/Makefile.am (AM_CPPFLAGS): Remove '-I..'; no longer needed.
1515 * bootstrap (slurp): Define gl_LOCK_EARLY instead of gl_LOCK,
1516 to accommodate today's gnulib change.
1518 2006-08-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1520 * NEWS: Mention the sweeping infrastructure changes.
1522 2006-08-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1524 * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add gnupload.
1525 * Makefile.maint (emit_upload_commands): gnupload is now
1527 * gnupload: Remove from CVS, since it's now a gnulib module.
1529 * bootstrap (bootstrap_conf_cleanup): Remove.
1530 (excluded_files): New var.
1531 * bootstrap.conf: Likewise.
1532 * bootstrap (slurp): Exclude files early if they're in the
1533 excluded_files list. That way, their names don't get put into
1536 * aclocal.m4, config.hin, configure:
1537 Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically.
1538 * .cvsignore: Add INSTALL, Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, config.hin,
1539 configure, *.cache, *.lineno, *.log.
1540 Remove more-specific entries. This catches files like configure.lineno.
1541 * man/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
1542 * src/.cvsignore: Add Makefile.in.
1543 Remove .version, dir.c, install, mvdir, stamp-v, vdir.c, version.c.

1589 Add Makefile.in. Sort entries if necessary. Remove *.I, *.E,
1590 *.X, *.O, *-tests, build-script, mk-script if they're never
1591 created in this directory.
1593 2006-08-22 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
1596 * src/uptime.c: Include OS.h if it exists.
1597 (print_uptime): On BeOS, use the get_system_info function (actually a
1598 macro). Loop through utmp entries only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.
1599 (uptime): Call read_utmp only if utmp.h or utmpx.h exists.
1601 2006-08-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1603 * .cvsignore: Add ABOUT-NLS.
1605 Move the check-AUTHORS rule to be run as part of "make distcheck",
1606 rather than "make check".
1607 * src/Makefile.am (check): Don't depend on check-AUTHORS; it would
1608 cause "make check" to fail on systems unable to build all binaries.
1609 * Makefile.maint (check-AUTHORS): New rule.
1610 (local-checks-available): Add it here.
1611 Reported by Bruno Haible. Needed for BeOS.
1613 2006-08-21 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1615 * src/df.c (print_header, show_dev): Use a column width that
1616 depends on the block size of -P is specified and not autoscaling.
1617 Problem reported by Gustavo G. Rondina in:
1618 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-08/msg00164.html
1620 2006-08-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1622 * tests/dircolors/simple (a): Don't fail with an unexpected diagnostic
1623 when the shell variable, SHELL, is not set.
1624 Trigger the failure with "(unset SHELL; make check TESTS=simple)".
1625 Reported by Sven Joachim in <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
1627 * src/od.c: Now that HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG is no longer defined
1628 in config.h, change the uses to HAVE_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG_INT.
1629 Otherwise, on a system with 4-byte longs, "od -t u8" fails with this:
1630 od: invalid type string `u8';
1631 this system doesn't provide a 8-byte integral type
1632 FIXME: add a test for this, but skip it when sizeof uintmax < 8.
1634 2006-08-20 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1636 Add a bootstrap procedure, so that the CVS version contains fewer
1637 files and we bootstrap the rest from gnulib, gettext, etc.
1638 * README-cvs: New file.
1639 * bootstrap: New file.
1640 * bootstrap.conf: New file.
1641 * .x-sc_trailing_blank: Remove config-log, .gdb-history. Add .po.
1642 * configure.ac (AC_PREREQ): Move here from m4/*.m4, for benefit
1644 (gl_DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION, gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS, gl_PERL):
1645 (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Remove; now done by gnulib.
1647 (gl_MACROS): Call just after gl_EARLY, just for clarity.
1648 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Remove patch to ls.c; no longer needed.
1649 * src/kill.c (strtoimax): Remove decl.
1650 * src/ls.c: Include "wcwidth.h" instead of rolling it ourselves.
1651 * src/wc.c: Likewise.
1652 * src/ls.c (sort_files): Rewrite to avoid need for C99-style
1653 declaration, so that we don't need to patch this file.
1654 * src/printf.c (strtoimax, strtoumax): Remove decls.
1655 * src/su.c: Include getpass.h.
1657 * src/system.h: Include mempcpy.h, stpcpy.h, strpbrk.h.
1658 Include inttypes.h unconditionally.
1659 (LONGEST_MODIFIER, PRIdMAX, PRIoMAX, PRIuMAX, PRIxMAX): Remove.

1661 (SCHAR_MIN, SCHAR_MAX, UCHAR_MAX, SHRT_MIN, SHRT_MAX, INT_MAX):

1689 Remove from CVS, since ./bootstrap generates them automatically.
1691 2006-08-20 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
1693 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Reinstate the patch from 2006-08-15;
1694 the patch from 2006-08-18 broke on cygwin.
1696 2006-08-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1698 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.2-cvs.
1699 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.2 and add "-cvs" suffix.
1701 2006-08-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
1704 * NEWS: Record the 6.1 release date.
1705 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
1707 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add sparse-file.
1709 Avoid test failure when `make check' is run through debuild.
1710 * tests/help-version: Ensure that $SHELL is set to some value
1711 and exported. Patch from Sven Joachim. For details, see
1712 <http://bugs.debian.org/355368>.
1714 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Test for the 2006-08-17 `ls -CF' fix.
1716 * README: Describe potential "pre-C99 build failure", and work-around.
1718 Some of my 2006-07-03 changes to tests/*/Makefile.am were being
1719 backed out due to updates provoked by the copyright changes.
1720 * tests/Makefile.am.in (PATH): Prepend $(VG_PATH_PREFIX), so that
1721 it propagates to the derived Makefile.am files.
1722 ($(srcdir)/Makefile.am): Mark generated .am files as read-only,
1723 so we don't mistakenly edit them again.
1724 * tests/cut/Makefile.am: Regenerate.
1725 * tests/head/Makefile.am: Likewise.

1734 * tests/wc/Makefile.am: Likewise.
1736 * NEWS: Fix cp --sparse so that it preserves tail-end sparseness, even
1737 when the file's apparent size is not a multiple of its block size.
1738 * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't write a NUL before calling ftruncate.
1739 For some file sizes, writing that single byte would unnecessarily
1740 waste a few file blocks. That write may have been necessary in the
1741 early days of Linux, but now, removing it should be safe.
1742 Based on a patch by Alan Curry: <http://bugs.debian.org/370792>
1743 * tests/cp/sparse: New test for the above.
1744 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sparse.
1746 * tests/sparse-file: New file, essence factored out of...
1747 * tests/du/8gb: ... here. Use the new script.
1749 2006-08-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1751 * src/system.h (select_plural): Reduce by 1000000, not 1000, since
1752 the CVS gettext manual now suggests 1000000.
1754 2006-08-18 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
1756 Add support for NetBSD 3.0.
1757 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Set to 1 if 'struct statvfs' has a field
1759 (STATXFS_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE_MEMBER_NAME): Define also if 'struct statvfs'
1760 has a field f_fstypename.
1761 This undoes the 2006-08-15 to src/stat.c.
1763 2006-08-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
1765 Copyright notice fixes.

2103 ls -CF would misalign columns in some cases.
2104 * src/ls.c (get_type_indicator): New function. extracted from...
2105 (print_type_indicator): ...here. Use it.
2106 (length_of_file_name_and_frills): Use it here, too, rather than
2107 assuming stat.st_mode is valid.
2108 Reported by Andreas Schwab, here:
2109 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7774>
2110 See the test for this above. FYI, I did ls -CF /proc and visually
2111 inspected the result.
2113 * src/copy.c (copy_internal, same_file_ok): Adjust comments not
2114 to mention the now-removed cp_options.xstat member.
2116 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Adapt to work now that the patch
2117 modifies more than one file in src/.
2119 With this patch, permit building with Solaris cc on Solaris 7.
2120 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Add diffs to convert more c99-isms.
2121 This integrates patches from Bruno Haible.
2123 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2125 Fix some problems reported by Bruno Haible.
2126 * tests/chmod/setgid (abs_srcdir): Remove; not used or needed.
2127 Skip this test if "chmod g+s d" silently does nothing.
2128 * tests/ls-2/tests: Skip this test suite if we can't set up files
2129 properly for the setuid-etc test. This simplifies some of the
2130 hacks we were using to work around porting problems.
2132 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2134 * tests/cp/Makefile.am: Don't mark "acl" as XFAIL.
2135 * tests/cp/acl: Instead, skip the test if either setfacl
2137 Reported by Michael Stone.
2139 2006-08-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2141 * tests/lang-default (LC_ALL): Set to "C", so we get
2142 English-language diagnostics. Unset the other variables; it
2143 should be portable to use 'unset' for this stuff nowadays.
2144 Problem reported by Bruno Haible. Using "C" reverses the
2145 2000-10-22 change to fileutils in this area.
2147 Fix bugs when printing plurals of numbers that are not
2148 unsigned long int values.
2149 * src/system.h (select_plural): New function.
2150 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check): Use select_plural to avoid bug.
2151 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Likewise.
2152 * src/dd.c (print_stats): Likewise. Also, don't use ngettext to
2153 print a floating point number, as reducing to 0 or 1 doesn't work
2154 for some languages. Instead, just use "s" for seconds since it
2155 doesn't need a plural form.
2157 2006-08-16 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
2159 Old versions of gzip would write --help output to stderr, and it
2160 would be annoying to see that in the output of every "make" command.
2161 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): Throw away stderr output of
2164 2006-08-16 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
2166 * tests/cp/acl: Don't use non-portable == operator for test.
2168 2006-08-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2170 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Use stat to test file system type, rather
2171 than df -T, in case /etc/mtab lies. Reported by Michael Stone.
2173 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2175 * NEWS: Mention that df exits with nonzero status if it generates
2176 no output. This change was in 6.0 but inadvertently unmentioned.
2177 * src/df.c (file_systems_processed): Renamed from n_valid_args, and now
2179 (show_dev): Don't set it until we actually output something.
2180 Print the header if this is the first output.
2181 (main): Don't print a header, as that is now show_dev's job.
2182 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add df.
2183 * tests/misc/df: New file.
2185 2006-08-15 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
2187 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): Define to 0 if f_type is needed, but
2188 statvfs.f_type not present. See
2189 <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=16325>.
2191 2006-08-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2193 * src/dd.c (print_stats): Don't substitute "1" for number, as this
2194 causes confusion for the Hungarian translators. Problem reported
2195 by Egmont Koblinger here:
2196 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7726
2198 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2200 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/at-func.c.
2202 * NEWS: Add a line for 6.1-cvs.
2203 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Bump to 6.1 and add "-cvs" suffix.
2205 2006-08-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2208 * NEWS: Record the 6.0 release date.
2209 * configure.ac (AC_INIT): Remove "-cvs" suffix from version string.
2211 * TODO: Add an item (convert to use gnulib-tool), add to the plan
2212 for id-vs-getgrouplist, and remove a few completed items.
2214 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): Fix syntax error.
2216 2006-08-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2218 * src/shred.c (usage): Don't indent the second line of an item.
2219 Otherwise, help2man would misformat the output.
2220 Reported by Adam Buchbinder in <https://launchpad.net/bugs/48917>.
2222 2006-08-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2224 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT): Upgrade to need-formatstring-macros.
2225 Suggested by Eric Blake to avoid problems like
2226 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-07/msg00087.html>.
2228 2006-08-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2230 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: Too many (losing) systems trigger the
2231 failure that this test checks for (stat/dirent inode mismatch at
2232 a mount point), so continue to give a diagnostic about the failure,
2233 but don't actually count it as a failure.
2235 2006-08-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2237 * ABOUT-NLS: Update from gettext 0.15.
2238 * configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Update from 0.13.1 to 0.15.
2240 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Remove fastmap member.
2241 (extract_regexp): Allocate fastmap separately, since otherwise
2242 it might move due to a realloc. This fixes a bug that led
2243 to a core dump on 64-bit sparc Solaris 10 (Sun Studio 10).
2245 2006-08-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2247 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: If "." is tmpfs, skip this test unless uname -s
2248 reports "Linux". This avoids a failure on Solaris 10's tmpfs.
2249 Redirect both stdout and stderr of df invocations.
2251 * src/dircolors.hin: Add a TERM directive for each of the following:
2252 ansi, color-xterm, gnome, konsole, kterm, rxvt-cygwin,
2253 rxvt-cygwin-native, screen.linux, xterm-256color.
2254 Sort the TERM directives.
2255 From Mike Frysinger.
2257 2006-08-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2259 * src/dd.c (usage): Warn about oflag=append without conv=notrunc.
2260 See Debian bug 373736.
2262 * src/dircolors.hin: Add mlterm, rxvt-unicode; this fixes Debian
2265 * src/.cvsignore: Add shuf.
2267 * Makefile.maint: Remove the po-update procedure; it doesn't
2268 work with the new repository on http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/.
2269 For now I guess we'll have to fix things by hand.
2270 (do-po-update, po-update): Remove. All references removed.
2272 * src/shuf.c (next_line): New function.
2273 (read_input): Use it, to avoid relying on GCC-specific behavior
2274 with void * arithmetic. Problem reported by Bob Proulx.
2275 * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Compile with -Wpointer-arith
2276 to detect this sort of problem automatically in the future.
2278 2006-08-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2280 * src/ls.c: Add a compile-time check to ensure that filetype
2281 and filetype_letter have the same number of elements.
2283 * tests/misc/sort-rand: Remove use of --seed=S.
2285 2006-08-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2287 Add a command 'shuf', and modify shred and sort to use the new
2288 random number generator library of 'shuf'.
2290 * AUTHORS: Add shuf.
2292 * NEWS: Likewise. Mention new --random-source option for shred
2293 and sort. Move "sort +1 -2" notice to the appropriate section,
2294 and clarify its role with respect to POSIXLY_CORRECT.
2295 * man/.cvsignore: Add shuf.1.
2296 * man/Makefile.am (dist_man_MANS): Add shuf.1.
2297 (shuf.1): New dependency.
2298 * man/shuf.x: New file.
2299 * src/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): Add shuf.
2300 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove rand-isaac.c.
2301 (shuf_LDADD): New macro.
2302 * src/rand-isaac.c: Remove, moving most of its contents to
2304 * src/shuf.c: New file.
2305 * src/shred.c: Use new random-number interface rather than rand-isaac.c.
2306 Don't include rand-isaac.c; include randint.h and randread.h instead.
2307 (RANDOM_SOURCE_OPTION): New enum.
2308 (long_opts, usage, main): New option --random-source.
2309 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
2310 * src/shred.c (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Remove.
2311 All callers changed to use randint interface.
2312 (fillrand): Remove. All callers changed to use randread interface.
2313 (dopass): Remove dependency on ISAAC buffer size.
2314 (genpattern): Don't wipe the random state here.
2315 (randint_source): New static var.
2316 (clear_random_data): New function.
2317 (main): Allocate random source, and arrange to wipe it on exit.
2318 * src/sort.c: Include md5.h, randread.h, xmemxfrm.h.
2319 (longopts, usage, main): Remove undocumented --seed option;
2320 it's now replaced by --random-source.
2321 (rand_state, get_hash): Remove.
2322 (randread_source): New static var.
2323 (random_state, cmp_hashes, compare_random): New functions; they guarantee
2324 no collisions in the random hash function.
2325 (keycompare): Use compare_random for -R; don't fall back on comparing
2326 via memcoll, since compare_random does the right thing.
2327 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add shuf.
2328 * tests/misc/shuf: New file.
2330 2006-07-29 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2332 * src/copy.c (set_author): Preserve the st_author field via the
2333 file descriptor dest_desc.
2335 2006-07-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2337 * NEWS: chmod now preserves setuid and setgid bits on directories
2338 if you use a numeric mode with them clear, e.g., "chmod 755 DIR".
2340 Fix test case problems if working directory is setgid,
2341 reported by Bob Proulx.
2342 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use symbolic mode so that we clear
2343 setgid bit more reliably on directories.
2344 * tests/mkdir/special-1 (set_mode_string): Likewise.
2346 2006-07-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2348 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Use correct grammar in description of the
2350 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
2352 2006-07-26 Thomas Schwinge <tschwinge@gnu.org> (tiny change)
2354 * src/copy.c (set_author) [HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_AUTHOR]:
2355 Correctly access SRC_SB's element ST_AUTHOR.
2357 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2359 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Adapt to match new expected output.
2362 * src/ls.c (print_color_indicator): Test for S_IFREG first, rather
2363 than having the code test for all of the other types first.
2364 Hoist the set-uid/gid-testing code "up" into this new block.
2365 Classify any other type of file (e.g., S_TYPEISSHM, etc.) as
2366 C_ORPHAN, not as C_FILE.
2368 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2370 Checking in a change from Paul.
2372 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2374 * src/ls.c (DT_INIT): Remove. All uses removed.
2375 (enum filetype): Use an ordinary enum rather than trying to keep
2376 the values in sync with DT_FIFO etc. That way, we don't have
2377 to make special assumptions about them. All uses changed.
2378 (whiteout): New constant member of enum filetype.
2379 (filetype_letter): New constant, for use with enum filetype.
2380 (FILETYPE_INDICATORS): New initializer list.
2381 (print_dir): Add case for DT_WHT.
2382 (gobble_file): If stat fails, don't discard information from
2383 readdir; instead, preserve it so it can be printed.
2384 (print_long_format): Fall back on readdir result if stat info
2385 is not available. Use "?" to denote each unknown mode char,
2386 instead of an overall "?", since we now know some of the mode
2388 (print_type_indicator): Now that MODE isn't necessarily
2389 useful, guard all uses.
2390 Now that two blocks in the type-checking tree can set "type = C_FILE",
2391 move the suffix-handling code out and down.
2393 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2395 Prepare for the above change.
2396 * src/ls.c [struct fileinfo] (stat_ok): Rename from stat_failed,
2397 and adjust uses. From a patch by Paul Eggert.
2399 2006-07-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2401 * src/ls.c: Correct indentation/formatting in a few places.
2403 2006-07-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2405 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Use "chmod 0500" rather than "chmod 500".
2406 Problem report and fix from Bob Proulx.
2407 * NEWS: Clarify the "chmod 0500" news, and correct the vague
2408 statements about compatibility with BSD.
2410 2006-07-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2412 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): When handling a stat-failed entry,
2413 print the entry name not the absolute_name -- to be consistent
2414 with the usual case.
2415 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Update accordingly.
2417 * src/ls.c: Add parens around the new uses of ?: ternary operator.
2419 * src/dircolors.hin: Mention that ORPHAN refers not just to dangling
2422 Get --dired offsets right when handling stat-failed entries.
2423 * src/ls.c (print_long_format): Be careful to increment P by the
2424 appropriate amount, even when inode_number_width and nlink_width
2426 * tests/ls/stat-failed: Test for the above.
2428 * src/ls.c (gobble_file) [USE_ACL]: Don't use-uninitialized the
2429 have_acl member. That would happen for a directory with both a
2430 non-stat'able entry and one with an ACL.
2432 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Make it so failure to stat a
2433 non-command-line file provokes an exit status of 1, not 0.
2434 Say "cannot access" rather than "cannot stat".
2435 * tests/ls/stat-failed: New file/test, for the above.
2436 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-failed.
2437 * tests/ls-2/tests (no-a-isdir-b): Update to reflect addition
2438 of "cannot access " to diagnostic.
2440 * src/ls.c: Declare stat_failed to be "bool", not "int" everywhere.
2442 * src/ls.c [enum filetype] (command_line): Remove member. Not needed.
2443 Replace all occurrences of "type == command_line" with the
2444 equivalent, "command_line_arg".
2446 * src/ls.c: Apply the stat-failed parts of Red Hat's
2447 coreutils-selinux.patch. From Ulrich Drepper.
2448 This makes it so files not mentioned on the command line (e.g.,
2449 names read from a directory that *is* mentioned on the command
2450 line) for which stat fails are still listed. With --color,
2451 such files are colored just like ORPHANs (aka dangling symlinks).
2453 * src/df.c (n_valid_args): Declare global to be static.
2455 2006-07-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2457 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: Skip this test on reiserfs, since that file
2458 system lacks d_type support.
2460 2006-07-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2462 * man/chmod.x: Update to reflect recent changes to coreutils.texi.
2464 2006-07-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2466 * src/su.c (usage): Correct typo in --help output: s/commmand/command/
2467 Reported by Tim Waugh.
2468 Also remove the comment duplicating much of --help output.
2470 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): Reposition this new
2471 name so the list remains alphabetized.
2473 Fix another bug: ls --indicator-style=file-type would call
2474 stat for a symlink, even though it wasn't always needed.
2475 In some cases, that unnecessary stat would cause ls to fail.
2476 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Don't treat symlinks specially (in
2477 requiring a stat syscall). Remove the offending exclusion.
2479 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2481 * tests/ls/stat-dtype: New file/test, for the above fix.
2482 Also exercises the new df feature, below.
2484 * src/df.c (main): Fail and don't print the headers if no
2485 file system is processed. This makes it easy to test whether
2486 a specified directory is on a file system of a given type or types.
2487 Otherwise, applications would have had to parse df's output.
2488 E.g., is "." either ext3 or reiserfs: df -t ext3 -t reiserfs .
2490 Fix a bug: ls --file-type worked like --indicator-style=slash,
2491 rather than like --indicator-style=file-type.
2492 * src/ls.c (FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION): New enum member.
2493 (long_options): Map "file-type" to FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION,
2495 (decode_switches): Handle new case: FILE_TYPE_INDICATOR_OPTION.
2496 * NEWS: Mention the fix.
2497 * tests/ls-2/tests (file-type): New test, for the above fix.
2499 2006-07-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2501 * src/ls.c (print_dir): Give a better diagnostic for failed opendir.
2503 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/vc-list-files.
2505 2006-07-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2507 * NEWS: chmod, install, and mkdir now leave setgid and setuid bits
2508 of directories alone unless you specify them explicitly.
2509 install and mkdir now implement X correctly.
2510 install now creates parent directories with mode 755, without
2511 changing their owner or group.
2512 * src/chmod.c (process_file): Adjust to mode_adjust API change.
2513 * src/install.c: Include mkancesdirs.h.
2514 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
2515 (DEFAULT_MODE): New macro, specifying initial value of 'mode'.
2517 (dir_mode, dir_mode_bits): New vars.
2518 (main): Set dir modes separately from nondir, so that the X
2519 op of -m works correctly.
2520 (main): Remove cwd_errno cruft, since make_dir_parents no longer
2521 affects cwd. Adjust to new make_dir_parents API.
2522 (install_file_in_file_parents): 2nd arg is now char *, not char
2523 const *. Use mkancesdirs instead of rolling our own code.
2524 (change_attributes): Don't worry about AFS, since that kludge
2525 should not be needed any more.
2526 * src/mkdir.c (struct mkdir_options): New struct.
2527 (announce_mkdir, make_ancestor): New functions.
2528 (main): Use them. Adjust to mode_adjust API change. Stick with
2529 umask 0. Use make_dir_parents for all the work.
2530 * src/mkfifo.c (main): Adjust to new mode_adjust API.
2531 * src/mknod.c (main): Likewise.
2532 * tests/chmod/setgid: Do the setgid test instead of bailing.
2533 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Remove re_protect case that no longer applies.
2534 GNU chmod now behaves like other versions of chmod.
2535 * tests/mkdir/perm: Add a test for the X bug.
2537 2006-07-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2539 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Output to parameter OUT, not to stdout.
2540 This doesn't fix any bugs, since OUT always equals stdout, but it
2541 makes the code easier to understand.
2543 2006-07-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2545 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use new file, build-aux/vc-list-files,
2546 rather than open-coding it. Now supports mercurial, too.
2547 * .hgignore: New file.
2548 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .hgignore, which ignores nearly
2549 all generated files, including ones like configure and po/*.po
2550 that are currently version-controlled in cvs.
2552 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add a few more .??* files.
2553 They've been in CVS, just haven't been distributed before this.
2554 Distribute ChangeLog-2005, too.
2555 (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add THANKS-to-translators.
2557 2006-07-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2559 * src/system.h: Assume <dirent.h> exists, since gnulib assumes
2562 2006-07-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2564 * tests/mv/dir2dir: Adjust so failing with ENOTEMPTY is ok, too.
2565 That happens with Linux/tmpfs.
2566 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir2dir.
2568 2006-07-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2570 Adjust to recent updates from gnulib.
2571 * src/dd.c (apply_translations): Use toupper rather than
2572 islower followed by toupper; it's simpler and typically
2573 faster now that we assume at least C89 semantics. Similarly
2575 * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise.
2576 * src/expand.c (expand): Don't assume that isprint etc. return
2577 booleans (needed for pre-C99 hosts).
2578 * src/fmt.c (check_punctuation): Likewise.
2579 * src/ptx.c (initialize_regex, fix_output_parameters): Likewise.
2580 * src/tr.c (is_char_class_member): Likewise.
2581 * src/unexpand.c (unexpand): Likewise.
2582 * src/join.c (is_blank): Remove; no longer needed. All uses
2583 replaced by isblank (to_uchar (...)).
2584 * src/pinky.c (create_fullname): Don't assume char is unsigned.
2585 * src/printf.c (print_esc): Likewise.
2586 * src/ptx.c (SKIP_NON_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE, SKIP_WHITE_BACKWARDS):
2587 (copy_unescaped_string): Likewise.
2588 * src/stat.c (print_it): Likewise.
2589 * src/system.h (_D_EXACT_NAMELEN): Renamed from NLENGTH, for
2590 convenience on GNU systems. All uses changed. Don't bother
2591 looking for any dirent.h substitute other than ndir.h.
2592 (D_INO): Remove unnecessary parentheses.
2593 (IN_CTYPE_DOMAIN, ISGRAPH, ISPRINT, ISALNUM, ISALPHA):
2594 (ISCNTRL, ISLOWER, ISPUNCT, ISSPACE, ISUPPER, ISXDIGIT):
2595 (ISDIGIT_LOCALE, TOLOWER, TOUPPER): Remove. All uses changed
2596 to ctype.h equivalents.
2597 (isblank): Renamed from ISBLANK. Check for HAVE_DECL_ISBLANK too.
2600 2006-07-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2602 * tests/mv/dir2dir: New file, test for 2006-07-05 fix in copy.c.
2604 * Makefile.maint (sc_the_the): New rule.
2606 * src/dd.c (skip): Remove one of two adjacent "the"s in a comment.
2607 * tests/Coreutils.pm (run_tests): Remove one of two adjacent "then"s
2610 2006-07-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2612 * NEWS: Mention that mv can now remove an empty destination directory,
2613 and give an example. Prompted by a report from Florent Bayle.
2615 2006-07-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2617 * src/ls.c (usage): Correct the description of -G: it is useful
2618 only in a long listing. Reported by Martin Pool in
2619 <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/51653>.
2621 * man/chmod.x: Correct the description of the sticky bit. Reported
2622 by Chris Moore via Ian Jackson in <http://bugs.debian.org/376745>.
2624 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't work around old NFS clients like
2625 SunOS-4.1.4 and Irix 5.3 that set errno to values like EIO and
2626 ENOTEMPTY upon failed rename. Otherwise, we risk misinterpreting
2627 a banal failure as a recursive move-into-self failure.
2628 Reported by Florent Bayle in <http://bugs.debian.org/376749>.
2630 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
2632 2006-07-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2634 Plug another unusual leak.
2635 (AD_mark_helper): Free malloc'd filename if hash_insert says
2636 that string is already in the hash table.
2638 The dev/inode of the topmost directory in each hierarchy were not
2640 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): Don't call cycle_check here.
2641 (AD_push): Call it from here instead.
2643 Fix two small leaks.
2644 * src/remove.c (AD_stack_clear): New function.
2646 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Free *prev_dir just before longjmp.
2648 * tests/Makefile.am, tests/*/Makefile.am: (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT):
2649 Add $VG_PATH_PREFIX as a prefix to $PATH
2651 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add CDPATH and POSIXLY_CORRECT.
2652 * tests/Makefile.am (evar-check): Remove rule.
2653 (EXTRA_DIST): Remove .env-warn.
2654 * tests/.env-warn: Remove file. No longer used.
2655 Suggestion from Eric Blake.
2657 2006-07-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2659 * src/system.h: Include <stdint.h> unconditionally, since we
2660 now assume the stdint module.
2662 2006-07-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2664 * NEWS: With no operand, 'tail -f' now silently ignores the '-f'
2665 only if standard input is a FIFO or pipe and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
2666 * src/tail.c (main): Implement this.
2667 * tests/tail/Test.pm (f-pipe-1): Renamed from f-1.
2668 (test_vector): Set POSIXLY_CORRECT for the f-pipe-* tests.
2670 2006-07-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2672 * src/ln.c (do_link): Use new, shorter URL, for ag-review link.
2674 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add ^lib/xstrtold\.c$, so make distcheck
2677 2006-06-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2679 * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
2680 It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
2681 It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
2682 * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
2683 * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
2684 (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
2685 (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
2686 (first, step, last): Remove.
2687 (usage): Update to match new behavior.
2688 (struct operand, operand): New type.
2689 (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
2691 Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
2692 (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
2693 new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
2694 valid. Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
2695 (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
2696 Print long double, not double.
2697 (get_width_format): Remove.
2698 (get_default_format): New function.
2699 (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
2700 Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
2701 the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
2702 * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
2703 (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
2704 implementation should do the right thing.
2706 2006-06-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2708 * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
2709 on HP-UX 11.11. Report and analysis from Bob Proulx.
2710 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7475
2712 2006-06-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2714 * NEWS: Support obsolete usages like "sort +1 -2" even when
2715 conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001, since this is a pure extension to
2716 POSIX. Problem reported by Christian in:
2717 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00220.html
2718 * src/sort.c (main): Implement this.
2720 * src/system.h (CLOSEDIR): Remove. All uses changed to closedir.
2721 Autoconf 2.60 says this stuff was obsolete.
2723 2006-06-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2725 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Regenerate, to remove fuzz.
2727 2006-06-28 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
2729 * tests/mv/i-link-no: Work around HP-UX /bin/sh tracing problem
2730 (set -x when VERBOSE=yes) when stderr is redirected before stdout
2731 causing shell tracing of the stdout redirection to be written to
2732 the stderr file. Avoid problem and test failure on HP-UX by
2733 redirecting stderr last.
2734 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Order shell file redirections for
2735 stderr and stdout in the common style.
2736 tests/acl: Likewise.
2738 2006-06-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2740 * tests/misc/cat-proc: Try to avoid any spurious numeric
2741 differences in frequently-changing /proc/cpuinfo.
2742 Reported by Nelson Beebe.
2744 2006-06-26 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2746 Attempt rmdir (actually, unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR) upon any
2747 fd_to_subdirp failure, not just when errno == EACCES.
2748 * src/remove.c (remove_dir): Use unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR, not
2749 rmdir, here, even though rmdir may happen to be adequate.
2751 * NEWS: rm no longer fails to remove an empty, unreadable directory
2752 * src/remove.c (remove_cwd_entries): If we can't open a directory,
2753 and the failure is not being ignored, try to remove the directory
2754 with rmdir (aka unlinkat-with-AT_REMOVEDIR), in case it's empty.
2755 Problem report and test case from Paul Eggert in
2756 <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/7425>.
2758 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test, for the above.
2760 Avoid a segfault for wc --files0=- < /dev/null.
2761 * src/wc.c (compute_number_width): Return right away if nfiles == 0.
2763 2006-06-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2765 * NEWS: wc accepts a new option --files0-from=FILE, where FILE
2766 contains a list of NUL-separated file names.
2768 * src/wc.c: Include "readtokens.h".
2769 (usage): Describe the new option, and adjust the `Usage':
2770 with this option, no FILE may be specified on the command line.
2771 (main): Handle the new option.
2772 * tests/misc/wc-files0: New tests, for the above.
2773 * tests/misc/wc-files0-from: Likewise.
2774 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add wc-files0.
2776 2006-06-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2778 * src/md5sum.c (DIGEST_BUFFER): Remove now-unused definitions.
2780 2006-06-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2782 * src/tee.c (tee_files): Rename from tee, to avoid conflict with
2783 the function in glibc's <fcntl.h>. Reported by Andreas Schwab.
2785 2006-06-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2787 * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Add changelog-check,
2788 so this check is not run as part of "make distcheck".
2790 2006-06-18 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
2792 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Fix typo (s/neq/ne/) in previous change.
2794 2006-06-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2796 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Make error output a little clearer.
2798 2006-06-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2800 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Skip this test on systems without openat
2801 support. Reported by Bob Proulx.
2803 2006-06-15 Bob Proulx <bob@proulx.com> (tiny change)
2805 * tests/misc/mknod: Improve permission checks to handle
2806 running mkdir test in set-gid directories.
2808 2006-06-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2810 * tests/du/basic: Revamp not to hard-code file system block sizes.
2812 2006-06-12 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2814 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Pass $(PERL), for
2817 2006-06-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2819 * .gitignore: New file.
2820 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .gitignore.
2822 Setting TIME_STYLE=long-iso in the environment would make the
2823 cp/same-file test fail.
2824 * tests/envvar-check (vars): Add TIME_STYLE to the list.
2825 * tests/cp/same-file: Revert last change.
2826 Source the envvar-check script, to ensure that TIME_STYLE
2827 settings don't affect these tests.
2829 2006-06-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2831 * tests/cp/same-file: Execute 'ls' in the C locale, so that it
2832 uses POSIX time stamp formats. Problem reported by John Nixon in
2833 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-06/msg00062.html>.
2835 2006-06-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2837 * NEWS: Mention the AIX-strndup-bug vs. dircolors workaround.
2839 Require a "Version N.M" line at the top of the ChangeLog
2840 file only when making the actual release, not when running
2842 * Makefile.maint (maintainer-distcheck): Don't depend on
2844 (alpha beta major): Depend on it here, instead.
2846 2006-06-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2848 Ensure that cat works with any of the options, -A -v -e -E -T,
2849 when applied to files in /proc and /sys, even when the FIONREAD
2850 ioctl produces nonsensical results. Before this change, cat would
2851 produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels.
2853 * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat.
2854 (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating
2855 that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that.
2856 Write any pending output before returning.
2857 Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>.
2858 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
2859 * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above.
2860 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc.
2862 2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2864 * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying
2867 2006-06-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2869 * NEWS: The 'expr' command now detects and reports integer overflow.
2870 (It would be better to use extended precision instead, but that
2871 would be more work.)
2872 * src/expr.c (integer_overflow): New function.
2873 (eval4, eval3): Check for integer overflow.
2875 2006-06-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2877 Fix problems when building with Solaris/SVR4/etc. make, which uses a
2878 different and somewhat bogus implementation of VPATH. In the
2879 directory tests/misc, rename tests whose names might appear in the
2880 Automake-generated rules. For example, we can't use a test named
2881 'test', since Automake generates a rule that contains the text
2882 "if test -f ./$$tst; ...", and this might expand to something like
2883 "if ../../../coreutils-6.0/tests/misc/test -f ./$$test; ...",
2884 which executes the 'test' script rather than the 'test' command.
2885 * tests/misc/false-status: Renamed from tests/misc/false.
2886 * tests/misc/pwd-long: Renamed from tests/misc/pwd.
2887 * tests/misc/sort-merge: Renamed from tests/misc/sort.
2888 ($prog): Set to 'sort' rather than to $PROG.
2889 * tests/misc/test-diag: Renamed from tests/misc/test.
2890 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (PROG): Take the basename of $$tst,
2891 in case Solaris make has prepended the directory.
2892 (TESTS): Adjust to above renamings.
2893 * tests/misc/expand: Don't assign to PROG; no longer needed
2894 now that Makefile.am sets PROG to the basename.
2895 * tests/misc/fold: Likewise.
2897 2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2899 Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
2900 link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
2901 * src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
2902 the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
2903 Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
2904 * tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
2905 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
2906 * NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
2908 2006-06-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2910 Fix some porting problems in the test cases reported by
2911 Ralf Wildenhues for HP-UX 11.23 in:
2912 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00238.html
2913 * tests/help-version: Don't assume that \< \> works in sed.
2914 * tests/misc/close-stdout: Don't assume that >&- works.
2915 Add a /dev/full test.
2916 * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Don't assume that >&- works.
2918 2006-05-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2920 * src/ls.c (usage): Add `v' to the list of sorting-related options.
2923 2006-05-28 Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
2925 * tests/cp/fail-perm: source lang-default.
2926 * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise.
2928 2006-05-28 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2930 * tests/rm/inaccessible: AIX 4.3.3 gives a different diagnostic.
2931 Recognize it, too. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues, in
2932 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
2934 2006-05-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2936 * src/chgrp.c: Support new options: --preserve-root and
2937 --no-preserve-root. Somehow this program was skipped when those
2938 options were added to chown, chmod, and rm. Reported by
2939 vaqflabuopac@spammotel.com in <http://bugs.debian.org/365656>.
2940 * NEWS: Mention this.
2942 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
2944 * NEWS: Remove mention of --seed. We'll replace it with something
2945 better, and don't want to indicate that it is supported.
2946 * src/sort.c (usage): Likewise.
2948 2006-05-20 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2950 * src/chmod.c (main): Use FTS_PHYSICAL here, too.
2952 * src/du.c (main): Rename local, s/symlink_deref_bit/symlink_deref_bits/
2953 and arrange for -D to set fts' FTS_PHYSICAL bit as well as
2954 FTS_COMFOLLOW. Spotted by Justin Pryzby.
2956 * gnupload: Merge changes from automake, retaining the ""--to...
2957 kludge to placate overzealous `make distcheck' check.
2959 2006-05-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2961 * src/du.c (main): Don't let -D, -L, or -P turn off the internal
2962 FTS_TIGHT_CYCLE_CHECK directory traversal option.
2963 Reported by Justin Pryzby in http://bugs.debian.org/367691
2965 2006-05-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2967 * src/cp.c (usage): Correct description of -a: s/-dpR/-dpPR/.
2968 From Tomas Pospisek.
2970 2006-05-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2972 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: Test two more cases.
2974 2006-05-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2976 mv -T DIR EMPTY_DIR no longer fails unconditionally
2977 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't manually prohibit a move where
2978 the destination is an existing directory. Sometimes doing that is
2979 valid. Let the rename system call enforce the rules. That is
2980 allowed only when the source is a directory and the destination
2981 directory (to be replaced) is empty. Reported by Eric Blake.
2982 * tests/mv/no-target-dir: New file/test for this.
2983 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add no-target-dir.
2984 * NEWS: Mention this.
2986 * tests/mv/atomic: New file/test for yesterday's fix.
2987 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add atomic.
2989 * tests/du/long-sloop: Avoid harmless `ambiguous redirect' diagnostic.
2991 2006-05-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
2993 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): Don't explicitly unlink the destination
2994 when moving a symlink into the place of an existing non-directory.
2995 Reported by Joshua Hudson.
2996 * NEWS: mention this.
2998 2006-05-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3000 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): Fail if patch generates any output,
3001 even merely for changed offsets.
3003 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: Adjust to reflect new offsets.
3005 * NEWS: Mention changes affecting df, pwd, shred.
3007 2006-05-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3009 * tests/ls/stat-vs-dirent: New test, to detect the bogus file
3010 system condition where dirent.d_ino != stat.st_ino.
3011 * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-vs-dirent.
3013 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3015 * tests/ls/inode: Expand to test inode from readdir case.
3016 * tests/ls/follow-slink: Expand to test broken links encountered
3017 implicitly, favoring Solaris 9 and OpenBSD 3.4 behavior.
3019 2006-05-06 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3021 * tests/mv/leak-fd: Work even on case-insensitive file system.
3023 2006-05-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3025 * NEWS: Mention the 2006-03-19 pwd-related change that makes
3026 lib/getcwd.c work around inconsistent file system dirent.d_ino data.
3028 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3030 * src/ls.c (DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS, LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS):
3031 Use better macro parameter names: s/basename/key_name/,
3032 s/basefunc/key_cmp_func. Fix typo in comment.
3034 2006-04-29 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3036 * src/ls.c (main): On systems with d_type, directories_first only
3037 implies format_needs_type, not format_needs_stat.
3039 2006-05-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3041 * src/ls.c (xstrcoll_df_version, rev_xstrcoll_df_version): Add space
3042 after comma in arg list, from Eric Blake.
3044 2006-04-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3046 * tests/misc/date (relative-3): New test, derived from a bug
3047 report by John Thomas McDole.
3049 2006-04-23 Francesco Montorsi <fr_m@hotmail.com>
3051 New option for ls: --group-directories-first.
3052 It makes ls list directories before files.
3053 * NEWS [New features]: Mention it.
3054 * src/ls.c (sort_type): Rearrange to use as an array index when
3055 choosing sort function; added new sort_numtypes member for
3057 (time_type): Add new time_numtypes member for compile-time check.
3058 (directories_first): New global variable.
3059 (GROUP_DIRECTORIES_FIRST_OPTION): New enum.
3060 (long_options): Add --directories-first.
3061 (main): Support new option.
3062 (is_directory): New function.
3063 (extract_dirs_from_files): Use it.
3064 (DIRFIRST_CHECK, DEFINE_SORT_FUNCTIONS)
3065 (LIST_SORTFUNCTION_VARIANTS): New macros.
3066 (sort_functions): New global variable.
3067 (sort_files): Use it.
3068 (usage): Document new option.
3070 2006-04-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3072 * src/shred.c (fillrand): The assertion was way too weak, due to
3073 what must be a typo. Strengthen it to its intended value.
3074 (dopass): Don't use alloca; it's not worth the aggravation here,
3075 since it's used only to get a page-aligned buffer, and page
3076 alignment doesn't buy us much here. I'm suspicious that alloca
3077 causes problems on some hosts, due to a recent bug report by Adam
3078 Waltman: http://bugs.gentoo.org/130246.
3080 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3082 * tests/misc/tty-eof: Add new programs, base64, sha224sum, sha256sum,
3083 sha384sum, sha512sum.
3085 2006-04-17 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3087 * src/chmod.c (describe_change): Adjust to filemode changes.
3088 * src/ls.c (HAVE_ST_DM_MODE): Remove; moved to ../lib/filemode.c.
3089 (print_long_format): Use (new) filemodestring rather than
3090 (old) mode_string, so that we get more file types right, at least
3091 in theory. Adjust to filemode changes.
3092 * src/stat.c (human_access): Likewise.
3094 2006-04-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3096 * src/ptx.c (main) [DEFAULT_IGNORE_FILE]: Remove code to use a default
3097 ignore file. This has never been enabled. Reported by Eric Blake.
3099 2006-04-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3101 * src/ln.c (linkfunc): Remove. This method ran into a compiler/linker
3102 bug in Interix. Just call symlink or link directly. All uses changed.
3103 * src/setuidgid.c (main) [! HAVE_SETGROUPS]: Don't call setgroups.
3104 * src/stat.c (USE_STATVFS): New macro.
3105 Include <sys/statvfs.h> and use statvfs only if USE_STATVFS.
3106 (NAMEMAX_FORMAT): define a bit more clearly, now that the
3107 statvfs-using code is a bit more regular.
3108 * src/system.h (sync) [!HAVE_SYNC]: New macro.
3110 2006-04-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3112 * NEWS: csplit, nl, expr now conform to POSIX better, and are
3113 more-compatible with traditional Unix, with respect to regular
3115 * src/csplit.c (extract_regexp): Set re_syntax_options to a
3116 value that is compatible with what POSIX requires.
3117 * src/nl.c (build_type_arg): Likewise.
3118 * src/expr.c (docolon): Likewise. Also, don't let anchors match
3119 newline; this fixes an incompatibility with tradition and with POSIX.
3120 Don't warn about leading ^. POSIX says it is unspecified whether
3121 ^ is a special character, which means that implementations can
3122 either treat it as special or not, but either way a warning is not
3123 allowed (unless the regexp is otherwise invalid). Instead, anchor
3124 the expression but treat ^ as an anchor; this is the traditional
3125 behavior (e.g., Solaris 10).
3126 (eval4, eval3, eval2): Treat non-numeric args, division by zero,
3127 and the like as invalid expressions (exit status 2), not as
3128 failure of 'expr' (exit status 3). This is more consistent with
3129 how Solaris behaves.
3130 * tests/expr/basic (fail-a): Adjust exit status to match new expr
3131 behavior, for status 2 versus 3.
3133 (bre1, bre2, bre3, bre4, bre5, bre6, bre7, bre8, bre9, bre10):
3134 (bre11, bre12, bre13, bre14, bre15, bre16, bre17, bre18, bre19, bre20):
3135 (bre21, bre22, bre23, bre24, bre25, bre26, bre27, bre28, bre29, bre30):
3136 (bre31, bre32, bre33, bre34, bre35, bre36, bre37, bre38, bre39, bre40):
3137 (bre41, bre42, bre43, bre44, bre45, bre46, bre47, bre48, bre49, bre50):
3138 (bre51, bre52, bre53, bre54, bre55, bre56, bre57, bre58, bre59, bre60):
3139 (bre61, bre62): New tests.
3140 * tests/misc/csplit: Use \{...\} in test RE, to test that we're
3141 conforming to POSIX.
3144 * tests/du/long-from-unreachable: Solaris 8 sh doesn't understand
3145 "if !". Do not assume that 'sed' can handle long, newline-free input.
3146 * tests/du/long-sloop: Likewise. Evaluate expr once, not $n times.
3148 2006-04-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3150 Adjust to new regex.h API (with new fastmap type), and clean
3151 up the regex storage allocation a bit.
3153 * src/csplit.c (struct control): Put re_compiled member at the
3154 end, since it's large. Change regexpr member from char * to bool;
3155 all uses changed. Add new member fastmap.
3156 (extract_regexp): regexp arg is now char const *, not char *.
3157 Don't bother duplicating the regular expression; it's not needed.
3158 Set fastmap from new fastmap member. Don't bother allocating
3159 a buffer, as the regexp code does a better job than we do.
3160 * src/expr.c (docolon): Allocate and use a fastmap.
3161 Don't bother allocating a buffer.
3162 * src/nl.c (body_fastmap, header_fastmap, footer_fastmap):
3164 (build_type_arg): New fastmap arg. All uses changed.
3165 Don't bother allocating a buffer, but set a fastmap.
3166 * src/ptx.c (context_regex_string, word_regex_string): Remove.
3167 (context_regex, word_regex): New vars, replacing the above.
3169 (struct regex_data): New type.
3170 (compile_regex): Renamed from alloc_and_compile_regex, since
3171 we no longer allocate storage. Arg is now a struct regex_data *,
3172 not a const char *. All uses changed. Don't allocate the fastmap;
3173 instead, take it from the caller. Don't convert size_t to int,
3174 to avoid arithmetic overflow problems. Don't bother freeing
3175 storage afterwards; it's not worth the aggravation.
3176 * src/tac.c (compiled_separator_fastmap): New ver.
3177 (main): Use it. Don't bother allocating a buffer.
3179 2006-03-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3181 * src/dd.c (iwrite): Remove assignment without effect.
3182 Reported by Felix Rauch Valenti.
3184 2006-03-22 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3186 * src/ptx.c (usage): Remove mention of --copyright/-C.
3187 (main): Alias --copyright to --version plus a deprecation warning.
3188 * NEWS: Mention this.
3190 2006-03-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3192 * src/Makefile.am (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's
3193 use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich.
3195 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3197 * tests/misc/dirname: New file.
3198 * tests/basename/Makefile.am: Delete.
3199 * tests/basename/basic: Move to...
3200 * tests/misc/basename: ... this new file. Add some tests,
3201 including fixed behavior for //.
3202 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Sort. Add basename, dirname.
3203 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove basename.
3204 * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Remove tests/basename.
3206 Improvements to dirname/basename handling on platforms like
3207 cygwin with distinct // and with drive letters.
3208 * NEWS: Document new behavior.
3209 * src/basename.c (main): Don't strip suffix from file system
3211 * src/cp.c (target_directory_operand): Use new last_component.
3212 (ASSIGN_BASENAME_STRDUPA): Likewise. Reduce time spent
3213 traversing the string.
3214 * src/dircolors.c (guess_shell_syntax): Use new last_component.
3215 * src/install.c (target_directory_operand, install_file_in_dir):
3217 * src/ln.c (target_directory_operand, main): Likewise.
3218 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Likewise.
3219 * src/mv.c (target_directory_operand, movefile): Likewise.
3220 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Likewise.
3221 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise.
3222 * src/split.c (next_file_name): Likewise.
3223 * src/su.c (log_su, run_shell): Likewise.
3225 2006-03-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3227 * NEWS: nohup diagnostics are now more precise, and nohup now
3228 redirects stderr to nohup.out if stdout is closed and stderr is a tty.
3229 * src/nohup.c (main): Implement this.
3230 * tests/misc/nohup: Test the new behavior.
3232 2006-03-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3234 * src/copy.c (set_author): Rename function, from preserve_author.
3236 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use new macro,
3237 CYCLE_CHECK_REFLECT_CHDIR_UP, rather than open-coding it.
3239 * src/system.h (SAME_INODE): Remove definition.
3240 Include "same-inode.h", instead.
3242 2006-03-11 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3244 * src/pwd.c (robust_getcwd): Prepend only one slash, not two.
3246 2006-03-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3248 Fix a bug whereby a user with write access to a directory being removed
3249 could cause the removal of that directory to fail with an erroneous
3250 diagnostic about a directory cycle. Reported by Vineet Chadha.
3252 * NEWS: Mention this.
3253 * src/remove.c (AD_pop_and_chdir): If the directory we're about to
3254 leave (and try to rmdir) is the one whose dev_ino is being used to
3255 detect a cycle, reset cycle_check_state.dev_ino to that of the parent.
3257 2006-03-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3259 * NEWS: Document dd's new 'directory' and 'nolinks' flags.
3260 * src/dd.c (set_fd_flags): Handle file-creation flags on file
3261 descriptors, rather than ignoring them.
3262 * tests/dd/misc: Add test cases for append, nofollow, directory,
3263 and nolinks flags. Simplify redirection to /dev/null in some cases.
3265 * tests/dd/misc: iflags->iflag. This fixes a typo that meant the
3266 noatime test never tested anything.
3268 2006-03-05 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3270 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): New flags directory, nolinks.
3271 * src/system.h (O_NOLINKS): Define to 0 if not already defined.
3273 * src/ls.c (usage): Mention that -f disables --color.
3274 Problem reported by Niels Möller.
3276 2006-03-03 Justin Pryzby <pryzbyj@justinpryzby.com>
3278 * man/*.x: Add references to syscalls from utilities of the same name.
3280 2006-03-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3282 * tests/help-version: Set SHELL, if not already set, in order to
3283 avoid failure when `make check' is run through debuild; dircolors
3284 would fail due to lack of $SHELL. Reported by Sven Joachim.
3286 Make `base64 --wrap=N' work for N=0, and for N larger than SIZE_MAX.
3287 * src/base64.c (wrap_write, do_encode, main): Change type of
3288 parameters and locals, wrap_column, form size_t to uintmax_t.
3289 (main): Adjust to use xstrtoumax, accordingly.
3291 2006-03-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3293 Don't fail when run from an environment with SHELL not a Bourne
3294 shell, e.g. `env SHELL=/bin/csh make check' would fail this test.
3295 * tests/dircolors/simple: Invoke each non-failing test with -b.
3296 Reported by Michael Stone.
3298 2006-02-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>

3304 Split lines to stay within 80 columns.
3306 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add base64.
3307 * tests/misc/base64: Test base64. From Simon Josefsson.
3309 * src/base64.c (do_decode): Use correct type for parameter,
3310 ignore_garbage: s/size_t/bool/.
3312 * src/base64.c: Don't include .h files already included by system.h:
3313 <string.h>, <stdlib.h>, <stdbool.h>, <limits.h>, <errno.h>.
3314 Include "system.h" before the other lib/*.h header files.
3315 Include <sys/types.h> before "system.h".
3316 (wrap_write): Remove declaration of unused local, initial_column.
3317 (wrap_write): Correct declaration syntax: s/size_t * V/size_t *V/.
3319 * README: Add base64 to the list.
3321 2006-02-17 Simon Josefsson <jas@extundo.com>
3323 New program: base64.

3329 * src/base64.c: New file.
3331 2006-02-25 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3333 In ls, avoid calling stat for --inode (-i), when possible.
3334 * src/pwd.c (NOT_AN_INODE_NUMBER, D_INO): Move to ...
3335 * src/system.h: ... here, for use in ...
3336 * src/ls.c (main): ... here. Prefer dirent.d_ino to stat when
3338 (gobble_file): Add inode argument.
3339 (print_dir): Pass inode if available.
3340 (usage): Remove inaccuracy.

3362 (interactive_type): New enum.
3363 (long_opts): Let interactive take an optional argument.
3364 (interactive_args, interactive_types): New option arguments.

3369 * tests/rm/interactive-always: Ditto.
3370 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Run them.

3374 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): Make the regular
3375 expression match more of the target lines, e.g., those that start with
3376 `-S,' (short option followed by a comma) or that include `=[...]'.
3377 Patch by Nicolas François.
3378 Fix the four offenders thus exposed:
3379 * src/join.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
3380 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
3381 the derived man page properly.
3382 * src/pr.c (usage): Likewise.
3383 * src/uniq.c (usage): Likewise.
3384 * src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
3386 2006-02-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3388 * Makefile.maint (alpha beta major): For `make major', ensure that the
3389 version string is of the form N.N[.N]*, where N is one or more digits.
3391 2006-02-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3393 * INSTALL: Update from gnulib.
3395 2006-02-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3397 * GNUmakefile (all): Emit diagnostics to stderr, not stdout.
3399 2006-02-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3401 * Makefile.maint (patch-check): New target.
3402 (local-checks-available): Add to the list.
3404 2006-02-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3406 * src/c99-to-c89.diff: New file.
3407 * src/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add c99-to-c89.diff.
3409 * .x-po-check: New file, with exclusions so that `make distcheck'
3411 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-po-check.
3413 rm -r must remove an empty directory, even if it is inaccessible.
3414 * src/remove.c (close_preserve_errno): New function.
3415 (fd_to_subdirp): Don't print a diagnostic in this function.
3416 Do it from the callers instead, unless rmdir succeeds.
3417 (remove_cwd_entries, remove_dir): Adjust callers.
3418 * tests/rm/empty-inacc: New test for the above.
3419 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add empty-inacc.
3420 * NEWS: Mention this bug fix.
3421 * tests/rm/rm2: Adjust two expected diagnostics, now that they're
3422 a tiny bit less precise: cannot remove `a/1': ... instead of
3423 cannot open directory `a/1': ...
3425 * Makefile.maint (syntax-check-rules): Automatically derive this
3426 list of sc_-prefixed rule names.
3428 2006-02-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3430 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Don't assume cvsu is available.
3431 (CVS_LIST_EXCEPT): New macro, to simplify exception-processing.
3432 Most uses of CVS_LIST changed to use CVS_LIST_EXCEPT.
3433 (syntax-check-rules): Bring back sc_changelong. (Hmm, why did it
3434 go away? was that an accident?)
3435 (sc_cast_of_argument_to_free, sc_cast_of_x_alloc_return_value):
3436 (sc_cast_of_alloca_return_value, sc_space_tab, sc_prohibit_atoi_atof):
3437 (sc_error_exit_success, sc_file_system, sc_no_if_have_config_h):
3438 (sc_system_h_headers, sc_sun_os_names, sc_trailing_blank):
3439 (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage, sc_unmarked_diagnostics):
3440 (sc_obsolete_symbols, sc_changelog, sc_prohibit_jm_in_m4):
3441 (sc_useless_cpp_parens, makefile-check, m4-check, po-check):
3442 (author_mark_check, makefile_path_separator_check):
3443 Output line numbers, to simplify navigation of Emacs *compilation*
3445 (sc_prohibit_atoi_atof, sc_file_system):
3446 Rework slightly so that Makefile.maint doesn't get reported as a
3447 violation of its own syntax rules.
3448 (sc_dd_max_sym_length): Use ifneq to do nothing, instead of doing
3449 it at run-time (which didn't work with Bison). Fix a makefile typo,
3450 caught by Makefile.maint itself: spaces where a tab should be.
3451 (po-check): Check lib/*.[ch] even if not in CVS; used by Bison,
3452 which copies from ../gnulib/lib/*.[ch] to lib/*.[ch].
3453 Ignore djgpp and man subdirectories, to avoid false matches with
3454 Bison and coreutils, respectively. Use sort -u to remove the
3455 resulting duplicates.
3456 * gnupload: Rework slightly to avoid bogus warning from
3457 sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
3459 2006-02-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3461 Use gzip's --rsyncable option only if it's available.
3462 * Makefile.maint (gzip_rsyncable): New variable.
3465 2006-02-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3467 * Makefile.maint (local-checks-available): Define in terms of
3468 the expansion, $(syntax-check-rules), rather than the single,
3469 top-level target `syntax-check', so that it's easier to exclude
3470 individual rules (via $(local-checks-to-skip)).
3471 (tgz-md5, tgz-sha1, ...): Remove now-unused definitions.
3473 2006-02-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3475 * src/system.h (!defined O_DIRECT): If O_DIRECTIO is defined (as it
3476 is on Tru64), define O_DIRECT to that. Patch From James Lemley.
3478 * tests/help-version (expected_failure_status_vdir):
3479 Redirect an expected disk-full diagnostic to /dev/null.
3481 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3483 * src/unexpand.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate the
3484 --first-only option string from its description, so help2man formats
3485 the derived man page properly.
3486 * src/rm.c (usage): Likewise for --no-preserve-root.
3487 * src/chown.c (usage): Likewise.
3488 * src/chgrp.c (usage): Likewise.
3490 Add a rule to ensure that the above doesn't happen again.
3491 * Makefile.maint (sc_two_space_separator_in_usage): New rule.
3492 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
3493 * .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage: New empty file.
3494 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_two_space_separator_in_usage.
3496 2006-02-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3498 * src/cp.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate each
3499 option string from its description, so help2man formats the
3500 derived man page properly.
3501 * src/mv.c (usage): Likewise.
3502 Patch from Nicolas François in http://bugs.debian.org/351601.
3504 2006-02-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3506 * src/copy.c (copy_internal): cp -RL would fail when encountering
3507 the same directory more than once in the hierarchy beneath a single
3508 command-line argument. That is legitimate, e.g. when there are
3509 two or more symbolic links, each pointing to some directory that
3510 would not otherwise be copied. Reported by Christophe LYON.
3511 * tests/cp/cp-deref: New file. Test for today's fix.
3512 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cp-deref.
3513 * NEWS: Document this.
3515 2006-02-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3517 * configure.ac: Require automake-1.9.6, not 1.8.3.
3519 2006-02-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3521 * src/od.c (usage): Mention that -t a ignores high order bit.
3522 Documentation problem reported by Ed Avis.
3524 2006-02-01 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3526 * src/pwd.c (find_dir_entry): Remove unused local, `ent_sb_valid'.
3528 2006-01-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3530 * src/head.c (main): Use a better diagnostic when someone uses a
3531 trailing numeric option in an invalid way. Problem reported by
3533 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Likewise.
3535 2006-01-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3537 * man/wc.x: Include `count' keyword in man page synopsis,
3538 per suggestion from http://bugs.debian.org/181585.
3540 2006-01-24 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3542 * src/df.c (show_dev): If the file system claims to have
3543 more available than total blocks, report the number of used
3544 blocks as being total - available (a negative number) rather
3545 than as garbage. Problem reported by Toralf Foerster.
3547 2006-01-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3549 * src/tail.c (tail_forever): Don't exit-nonzero when an attempt
3550 to put a regular file in O_NONBLOCK mode fails with EPERM.
3551 That happens on Linux (up to 2.6.15) when using tail -f on a file with
3552 the append-only attribute. Reported by Dean Gaudet. For details,
3553 see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15473.
3554 * NEWS: Mention this fix.
3555 * tests/tail-2/append-only: New file. Test for the above.
3556 * tests/tail-2/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add append-only.
3557 * tests/Makefile.am (check-root): Add tail-2/append-only
3559 2006-01-21 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3561 * NEWS: Mention fts-related improvements and bug fixes.
3563 2006-01-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3565 * tests/fmt/basic (pfx-1, pfx-2): New tests, to demonstrate the bug
3566 reported as http://bugs.debian.org/147577. Forwarded by Thomas Hood.
3568 2006-01-18 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3570 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-from-unreadable.
3572 2006-01-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3574 Now that fts no longer changes the current working directory, adjust
3575 its clients accordingly -- note that du.c uses fts but doesn't need
3576 any adjustment, since it doesn't operate on the actual files,
3577 but rather just uses the stat buffers provided by fts.
3579 * src/chown-core.c: Include "openat.h".
3580 Don't include "lchown.h".
3581 (restricted_chown): Accept a new parameter, CWD_FD, and use it in
3582 calling openat, lchownat, chownat, rather than open, lchown, chown.
3584 * src/chmod.c: Include "openat.h".
3585 (process_file): Use chmodat (fts->fts_cwd_fd,... in place of chmod (...
3587 * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: New test, to exercise one small
3590 2006-01-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3592 * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add comments discouraging the
3593 addition of new directories under tests/.
3595 * tests/acl: Redirect stdin to /dev/null. Otherwise, FreeBSD 5.0's
3598 2006-01-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3600 * tests/du/long-sloop: Adjust not to hard-code the expected
3601 diagnostic corresponding to ELOOP. Solaris' diagnostic differs
3602 from that of GNU libc. Reported by Paul Eggert.
3604 * tests/du/long-sloop: Create file at end of symlink chain.
3606 * tests/misc/test: New file, with a test for one of the
3607 bugs fixed by yesterday's test.c changes.
3608 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add test.
3610 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3612 * tests/du/long-sloop: New file. Test for today's fts.c bug fix.
3613 That bug could make du -L, chgrp -L, or chown -L fail to diagnose
3614 a very long sequence of symbolic links (not necessarily a loop).
3615 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add long-sloop.
3617 2006-01-11 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3619 * src/test.c (test_syntax_error): Append a newline. All callers
3620 changed, except for the ones that didn't already append a newline.
3621 Bug reported by Eric Blake.
3623 2006-01-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3625 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC): Now that verify_true is no longer
3626 void, cast its result to void, to avoid gcc's warning that
3627 ``left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect''.
3628 (DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE, X2REALLOC): Likewise.
3630 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3632 * tests/chmod/no-x: Add a test for today's fts.c fix.
3634 2006-01-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> (tiny change)
3636 * src/ls.c (gobble_file): Use DTTOIF only if it's defined.
3637 This is necessary for Dragonfly. Patch by Joerg Sonnenberger.
3639 2006-01-10 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3641 * src/system.h (X2NREALLOC, X2REALLOC, DECIMAL_DIGIT_ACCUMULATE):
3642 Use verify_true instead of verify_expr, to sync with gnulib.
3644 2006-01-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3646 * src/date.c (usage): Adjust the formatting of the entries for
3647 %::z and %:::z (separate with two spaces, not one) so that help2man
3648 formats them properly. Reported by Philip Rowlands.
3650 2006-01-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3652 * configure.ac (gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES): Add.
3654 2006-01-06 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3656 * Makefile.maint (copyright-check): Use date +%Y in place of
3659 * src/remove.c (rm_1): Remove `static' attribute on local `status'.
3660 First off, the attribute should have been `volatile' (not static)
3661 to avoid longjmp-related risk of clobber. Secondly, now there is
3662 no longer any risk of a local variable being clobbered, so there's
3663 no need for any attribute at all.
3665 2006-01-05 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3667 * src/remove.c: Give a few functions the inline attribute.
3668 (AD_pop_and_chdir): Use gotos to avoid some duplication.
3669 (AD_push): Rewrite an assertion so that the entire computation
3670 goes away when assertions are turned off.
3672 * src/tail.c (ENOSYS) [!defined ENOSYS]: Don't define here.
3673 It's already defined in "system.h".
3674 * Makefile.maint: Add a FIXME comment.
3676 2006-01-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3678 * ChangeLog: Remove entries from 2005-10-22 and earlier.
3679 * ChangeLog-2005: New file, for entries up to version 5.92.
3681 2006-01-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3683 * tests/du/no-x: Also allow a slightly different diagnostic -- the
3684 one you get when using openat-enabled fts.c and du (coming soon).
3685 * tests/chmod/no-x: Likewise.
3686 * tests/chgrp/no-x: Likewise.
3688 * src/system.h (O_DIRECTORY) [!defined O_DIRECTORY]: Define.
3690 2006-01-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3692 * src/chown-core.c (RC_do_ordinary_chown): New enum value.
3693 (restricted_chown): Return it, if the file cannot be accessed due
3694 to EPERM, or if no uid or gid are required, or if the file is
3695 neither a directory nor a regular file. Rewrite to avoid gotos.
3696 (change_file_owner): Handle RC_do_ordinary_chown case.
3697 Rewrite to avoid gotos.
3698 * tests/chgrp/basic: Make sure we can change the group of
3701 * src/date.c (usage): Explain %g, %G, and %V a bit better.
3703 2006-01-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3705 * src/copy.c (set_owner): Correct a comment.
3707 * src/tail.c (parse_options): Change warning to say that --retry
3708 is useful `mainly' (not `only') when following by name.
3709 Reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/273781
3711 2006-01-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3713 * NEWS: Document that mkfifo and mknod -m no longer set special bits.
3714 * src/copy.c: Include lchmod.h.
3715 (copy_internal): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
3716 * src/cp.c: Include lchmod.h.
3717 (re_protect, make_dir_parents_private): Use lchmod rather than chmod.
3718 * src/mkdir.c: Include lchmod.h.
3719 (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
3720 (main): Use lchmod rather than chmod. Don't use lchmod unless the
3721 new mode contains bits outside the 777 range.
3722 * src/mkfifo.c (usage): Clarify -m's operation.
3723 (main): If -m is given, don't invoke chmod; use umask 0 instead.
3724 Report an error if -m asks for bits outside the 777 range.
3725 * src/mknod.c (usage, main): Likewise.
3727 * src/mkdir.c, src/mkfifo.c, src/mknod.c: Undo 2005-12-19 changes.
3729 2005-12-27 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3731 * Makefile.maint (sc_obsolete_symbols): Prohibit use of O_NDELAY.
3732 (sc_prohibit_assert_without_use): New rule.
3733 (syntax-check-rules): Add it to the list.
3734 * .x-sc_prohibit_assert_without_use: New empty file.
3735 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.
3737 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Define in terms of $(srcdir).
3739 * cp.c, df.c, link.c, mknod.c, nice.c, sleep.c, unlink.c:
3740 Don't include <assert.h>; it wasn't used.
3742 2005-12-26 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3744 * src/chown-core.c (restricted_chown):
3745 Don't try O_WRONLY unless O_RDONLY failed wth EACCES.
3746 * src/remove.c (fd_to_subdirp): Open with O_DIRECTORY | O_NOCTTY
3747 | O_NOFOLLOW too, for consistency with other dir-openers.
3748 Use POSIX-preferred O_NONBLOCK rather than O_NDELAY.
3749 (is_empty_dir): Likewise.
3750 * src/shred.c (wipename): Likewise. Don't bother trying to open
3751 dir for writing, since POSIX prohibits it.
3753 2005-12-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3755 * tests/help-version: Redirect stderr to /dev/full, to suppress
3756 write error diagnostic.
3758 2005-12-19 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3760 * src/mkdir.c, src/mknod.c, src/mkfifo.c (main)
3761 Avoid a minor race condition when `-m MODE' is specified, by using
3762 open, fchown, and close rather than just chown. To do that reliably --
3763 even with an overly restrictive umask -- ensure that each mkdir,
3764 mknod and mkfifo call uses a mode including at least owner-read access.
3765 * src/mknod.c (main): When `-m MODE' is specified, exit nonzero if
3766 the subsequent chown (or equivalent open,fchown,close) fails.
3767 * tests/misc/mknod: New tests.
3768 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add mknod.
3770 2005-12-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3772 * src/remove.c (is_empty_dir): Open with O_NDELAY, so we don't hang,
3773 e.g., on a named pipe.
3774 (OPEN_NO_FOLLOW_SYMLINK): Remove definition. Use O_NOFOLLOW in
3775 place of all uses, since it is guaranteed (system.h) to be defined.
3777 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>
3779 Add POSIX ACL support
3780 * src/ls.c: Switch back from HAVE_ACL to USE_ACL: The acl() syscall
3781 is no requirement for ACL support; particularly, it does not exist
3782 on systems that have POSIX ACLs.
3783 * src/copy.h (cp_option_init) [umask_kill]: Remove member.
3784 * src/cp.c (umask_kill): With default acls, the umask is not to be
3785 applied. Remove umask_kill, don't change the process umask, and let
3786 the kernel apply the umask where appropriate.
3787 * src/cp.c (make_dir_parents_private): Fix logic for POSIX ACLs.
3788 * src/copy.c (get_dest_mode): Remove; it is obsolete after removing
3790 (copy_reg, copy_internal): Use copy_acl and set_acl
3791 instead of fchown/chown. Fix the logic for POSIX ACLs.
3792 (chown_succeded): Remove; we now always copy acls and
3793 preserve S_ISUID, S_ISGID, and S_ISVTX when needed, no matter if we
3794 did a chown before or not.
3795 * src/mv.c, src/install.c (cp_option_init): Don't set umask_kill member.
3796 * src/Makefile.am (dir_LDADD, ls_LDADD, vdir_LDADD, cp_LDADD,
3797 mv_LDADD, ginstall_LDADD): On systems with an ACL library, arrange
3798 to link with it via $(LIB_ACL), for the utilities that need it.
3800 2005-12-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3802 * src/remove.c (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__REQUIRE): Remove.
3803 (OPENAT_CWD_RESTORE__ALLOW_FAILURE): Likewise.
3804 (fd_to_subdirp): Remove openat_cwd_restore_allow_failure arg; its
3805 value is now signified by whether cwd_errno is null.
3806 (fd_to_subdirp, remove_dir, rm_1); Change cwd failure indicator from
3807 pointer-to-bool to pointer-to-errno-value. All callers changed.
3808 (rm_1): Don't bother setting a local cwd failure flag and then
3809 ORing it into the caller's. Just set the caller's.
3810 (rm): Use cwd failure errno value to print a slightly-better
3813 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3815 * src/stat.c (print_it): Properly handle a backslash at the
3816 end of a --printf format string. Reported by Paul Eggert.
3817 * tests/misc/stat-printf (end-bs): Add a test for the above.
3819 2005-12-15 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3821 * tests/acl: Port to pre-POSIX shells like Solaris 8 /bin/sh.
3822 Don't assume /etc/passwd contains user names; use 'id' instead.
3824 2005-12-15 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3826 stat: revert behavior of --format=FMT (-c)
3827 stat: add new option: --printf=FMT
3828 * NEWS: Mention this.
3829 * src/stat.c (isodigit, octtobin, hextobin): Define.
3830 (PRINTF_OPTION): Define.
3831 (interpret_backslash_escapes, trailing_delim): New globals.
3832 (usage): Document them. Alphabetize on long option names.
3833 (print_esc_char): New function.
3834 (print_it): Rewrite, in order to handle backslash escapes.
3835 (main): Handle new option. Set globals for --format, too.
3837 * tests/misc/stat-printf: Test --printf and --format.
3838 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add stat-printf.
3840 2005-12-14 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3842 * NEWS: sort now reports incompatible options.
3843 * src/sort.c (incompatible_options, check_ordering_compatibility):
3845 (main): Use them. Don't bother with a usage message for
3846 "sort -c a b", for consistency with other error diagnostics.
3847 * tests/sort/Test.pm (incompat1, incompat2, incompat3, incompat4):
3850 * src/cat.c (main): Undo previous change. close_stdout already
3851 does the check, so the previous change wasn't necessary.
3853 2005-12-13 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3855 * src/cat.c (main): Check for close (STDOUT_FILENO) failure.
3857 2005-12-12 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3859 Install a more-conservative approach for sort -R. It's the
3860 same basic idea as the existing code, except it uses the full ISAAC
3861 approach (called the "more kosher" approach in the existing comments).
3862 This makes "sort -R" quite a bit slower (about a factor of 2 on my
3863 little tests involving 10000 lines on a 2.4 GHz P4), but I think it's
3864 better to be conservative here at first, and review any performance
3865 improvements carefully.
3866 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add src/rand-isaac.c.
3867 * src/rand-isaac.h: Remove. All uses now simply include rand-isaac.c.
3868 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Remove rand-isaac.h.
3869 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): Remove.
3870 (EXTRA_DIST): Add rand-isaac.c.
3871 * src/rand-isaac.c: Revert to what used to be in shred.c, without
3872 changing it to allow for varying numbers of words in the state.
3873 Alter so that we include rand-isaac.c directly rather than
3874 compiling it and linking to it. Don't include config.h or
3875 system.h; that's the includer's responsibility.
3876 Omit functions that are specific to shred.
3877 (ISAAC_LOG, ISAAC_WORDS, ISAAC_BYTES, struct isaac_state, ind):
3878 (isaac_step, struct irand_state):
3879 Resurrect these, with the same defns that used to be in shred.c.
3880 (ISAAC_SIZE, isaac_new, isaac_copy): Remove.
3881 (isaac_refill, isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, irand_init, irand32):
3883 (struct isaac_state, isaac_refill, isaac_mix, isaac_init):
3884 (isaac_seed_start, isaac_seed_data, isaac_seed_finish, isaac_seed):
3885 (irand_init, irand32, irand_mod):
3886 Number of words is constant again.
3887 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Move to shred.c.
3888 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.c rather than rand-isaac.h.
3889 * src/sort.c: Likewise.
3890 * src/shred.c (fillrand, dopass, main): Undo previous change.
3891 (struct irand_state, irand_init, irand32, irand_mod): Moved back here,
3893 * src/sort.c: Don't include md5.h; it wasn't needed.
3894 (struct keyfield): Rename random_hash to random, for consistency
3895 with the other member names. All uses changed.
3896 (usage): Tweak wording to mention STRING for --seed option.
3897 (short_options): Rorder for consistency with other programs.
3898 (rand_state): Now a struct, not a pointer to one. All uses changed.
3899 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): Remove.
3900 (get_hash): Remove comments around resbuf size, since we can assume C89.
3901 Use a "more-kosher" (but slower) approach of invoking isaac_refill.
3902 (keycompare): Adjust to the new get_hash.
3904 (badfieldspec): Omit recently-introduced comment; it isn't needed.
3905 (main): Don't set need_random simply because gkey has it set; that
3906 doesn't necessarily mean we'll need random numbers.
3907 Redo seeding to match new get_hash approach.
3909 2005-12-10 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3911 * src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): Add rand-isaac.h.
3913 Avoid shred segfault on 64-bit systems.
3914 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_refill): Don't try to negate a
3915 local of type uint32_t. Make the local an `int' instead.
3917 * NEWS: Mention sort's new options.
3919 * src/rand-isaac.c (isaac_mix): Declare to be static.
3920 Mark all other functions as `extern' so the tight-scope
3921 part of `make distcheck' passes once again.
3922 * src/rand-isaac.h (isaac_mix): Remove declaration.
3924 * src/sort.c (get_hash): Change position of `*' in parameter
3925 type to conform with convention.
3926 (main): Split a long line so it fits in 80 columns.
3927 (keycompare): Remove stray SPACE before TAB that was
3928 causing `make distcheck' to fail.
3930 * src/shred.c: Don't include gethrxtime.h. No longer needed.
3932 * tests/misc/sort-rand: New file: basic tests for the new options.
3933 * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add sort-rand.
3935 2005-12-10 Frederik Eaton <frederik@ofb.net>
3937 * src/Makefile.am (sort_LDADD): Add $(LIB_GETHRXTIME).
3938 (shred_SOURCES, sort_SOURCES): New macros, so we compile rand-isaac.c.
3939 * src/rand-isaac.c: New file, containing ISAAC code that was in shred.c.
3940 Make state size runtime-configurable.
3941 (isaac_new, isaac_copy): New functions.
3942 * src/rand-isaac.h: New file.
3943 * src/shred.c: Include rand-isaac.h. Move ISAAC code to rand-isaac.c.
3944 (fillrand, main): Adjust to the fact that the state size is now
3945 runtime-configurable.
3946 * src/sort.c (short_options, long_options, WORDS, keycompare, main):
3947 (usage): Add options --random-sort and --seed to implement a random
3949 Include md5.h and rand-isaac.h.
3950 (get_hash): New function.
3951 (rand_state): New var.
3952 (HASH_WORDS, HASH_SIZE): New macros.
3954 2005-12-09 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3956 * tests/dd/misc: Add test for dd iflags=noatime.
3958 2005-12-09 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3960 * src/sort.c (usage): Mention white space vs -b and -t options.
3963 2005-12-09 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
3965 * src/test.c (main): Fix misleading comment.
3967 2005-12-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
3969 * NEWS: Mention dd's new noatime flag.
3970 * src/system.h (O_NOATIME): Define to 0 if not already defined.
3971 * src/dd.c (flags, usage): Add support for noatime flag.
3973 2005-12-07 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3975 Distribute the cvsu script, used only by `make syntax-check'.
3976 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add build-aux/cvsu.
3977 * Makefile.maint (CVS_LIST): Use build-aux/cvsu, now that we
3978 distribute a copy of this script.
3979 * .x-sc_unmarked_diagnostics: Add build-aux/cvsu.
3981 * tests/mv/acl: exit-77 before the trap, not after, if we fail
3982 to create a temporary directory on another partition.
3983 From Andreas Gruenbacher.
3985 2005-12-06 Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch> (tiny change)
3987 * man/basename.x: Cross-reference to dirname and readlink.
3988 * man/dirname.x: Cross-reference to basename and readlink.
3990 2005-12-05 Andreas Gruenbacher
3992 * src/copy.c [!HAVE_FCHOWN]: Define fchown(...) to -1.
3993 (set_owner, preserve_author): New functions, factored out of copy_reg.
3994 (copy_reg): Use them.
3995 (copy_internal): Use them here, too.
3997 2005-12-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
3999 * src/sleep.c (usage): Say what happens with two or more arguments.
4000 Suggested by Justin Pryzby.
4002 * src/uptime.c (print_uptime): Move decl of `upsecs' into scope
4005 2005-12-03 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4007 * src/rm.c (long_opts): Change the name of each undocumented, for-
4008 testing-only option to start with `-', so that it cannot render
4009 ambiguous any prefix it happens to share with some other option name.
4010 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
4011 * src/head.c (long_options): Likewise.
4012 * src/tail.c (long_options): Likewise.
4014 * tests/misc/head-elide-tail: Update uses of undocumented, for-
4015 testing-only --presume* options to start with `---'.
4016 * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
4017 * tests/rm/dir-no-w: Likewise.
4018 * tests/rm/isatty: Likewise.
4020 2005-11-30 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4022 * Makefile.maint: Add a comment about cvsu.
4024 2005-11-25 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4026 * NEWS: df updates for "none", "proc", inaccessible file systems.
4027 * src/df.c (show_point): Ignore inaccessible file systems.
4028 (usage): -a includes dummy file systems, not size-0 file systems.
4030 * src/od.c (unsigned_long_long_int): Renamed from ulonglong_t,
4031 to avoid collision with POSIX name space. All uses changed.
4033 2005-11-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4035 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add acl to the list.
4036 * tests/acl: Add `$0: ' prefix to diagnostics.
4038 * .x-sc_require_config_h: Add lib/buffer-lcm.c to the list.
4040 2005-11-23 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4042 * src/copy.c: Improve performance a bit by optimizing away
4043 unnecessary system calls and going to a block size of at least
4044 8192 (on normal hosts, anyway). This improved performance 5% on my
4045 Debian stable host (2.4.27 kernel, x86, copying from root
4046 ext3 file system to itself).
4047 Include "buffer-lcm.h".
4048 (copy_reg): Omit last argument. All callers changed.
4049 Use xmalloc to allocate rather than trusting alloca
4050 (which is unwise with large block sizes).
4051 Declare locals more locally, if possible.
4052 Use uintptr_t words instead of int words, for a bit more speed
4053 when looking for null blocks on 64-bit hosts.
4054 Optimize away reads of zero bytes on regular files.
4055 In the typical case, insist on 8 KiB buffers, at least.
4056 Avoid unnecessary extra call to fstat when checking for sparse files.
4057 Avoid now-unnecessary cast to off_t, and "0L".
4058 Avoid unnecessary test of *new_dst when checking for same owner
4061 2005-11-22 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4063 * src/remove.c (rm): Don't assume C99 for-loop syntax.
4065 2005-11-22 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4067 * src/remove.c (AD_push): Remove debugging cruft.
4069 * tests/rm/unread2 (rm): Change expected diagnostic,
4070 `cannot open directory' to `cannot remove', to align with
4072 * tests/rm/rm2: Ensure that rm now continues removing entries
4073 even after certain types of failure.
4075 * src/remove.c: Rewrite. Now, this module is reentrant on systems
4076 that provide openat (Solaris), and on systems like Linux+procfs
4077 where our openat emulation code is reentrant. This also fixes a
4078 few low-probability leaks and eliminates some code that could,
4079 in very unusual circumstances, cause rm() (via a callee) to exit.
4080 * NEWS: Mention this.
4082 * configure.ac: Put copyright dates all on one line so the
4083 emacs function that updates them works properly.
4085 2005-11-18 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4087 * configure.ac (AM_PROG_CC_C_O): Add. Needed for CVS Automake.
4088 Problem reported by Eric Blake.
4089 (AC_PROG_CC_STDC): Use this instead of AC_PROG_CC, so that
4090 we get a standard-conforming compiler. This relies on the new
4091 m4/c.m4 file. Note that it's a bit tricky, since c.m4 doesn't
4092 define AC_PROG_CC_STDC; we are relying on Autoconf 2.59 internals.
4093 m4/c.m4 can go away with Autoconf 2.60 comes out.
4095 2005-11-17 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4097 * src/remove.c (AD_mark_helper): Make a `char *' parameter `const'.
4098 (AD_mark_current_as_unremovable): Likewise, but for a local.
4101 * tests/mv/acl: Let traps handle removing temporary directories.
4103 Expect acl-related tests to fail, until the corresponding
4104 patches are committed.
4105 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Add acl.
4106 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (XFAIL_TESTS): Likewise.
4108 ACL tests, from Andreas Gruenbacher.
4109 * tests/acl, tests/mv/acl, tests/cp/acl: New files.
4110 * tests/mv/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
4111 * tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add acl.
4113 * src/ls.c (basename_is_dot_or_dotdot): Correct wording in comment.
4115 2005-11-16 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4117 * NEWS: Improve quality of ln's diagnostics.
4118 * src/ln.c (do_link, usage): Likewise.
4119 (do_link): Don't use alloca on a buffer of unbounded size.
4121 2005-11-16 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4123 * tests/cp/fail-perm: Accommodate HPUX. It appears to fail
4124 with EACCES rather than EPERM. Reported by Peter O'Gorman here:
4125 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.core-utils.bugs/5766
4126 This also affects AIX 4.3.3, according to Ralf Wildenhues, in
4127 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00192.html
4129 2005-11-14 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4131 * NEWS (sort): Mention consequences of today's mkstemp-safer.c fix.
4133 2005-11-13 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4135 * announce-gen: Accept new option, --gpg-key-id=ID and
4136 emit a blurb telling how to use the .sig files.
4137 * Makefile.cfg (gpg_key_ID): Define.
4138 * Makefile.maint (announcement): Use new option and key.
4140 Require that most .c files include <config.h>.
4141 * Makefile.maint (sc_require_config_h): New rule.
4142 (syntax-check-rules): Add it.
4143 * .x-sc_require_config_h: New file listing exceptions to the
4144 above rule. Some are legit, others are simply grandfathered in.
4145 * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_require_config_h here, too.
4147 2005-11-12 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4149 * src/checksum.h, src/md5.c, src/sha1sum.c: Remove now-unused files.
4151 2005-11-11 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4153 * NEWS: Mention `readlink -f' bug fix in 5.3.0 news.
4154 Mention new readlink options in 5.3.0's `New features' section.
4155 Spotted by Thomas Hood.
4157 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4159 * NEWS: Merge in changes from b5_9x branch.
4161 2005-11-08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4163 * NEWS: ls now defaults to --time-style='locale', which in turn acts
4164 like --time-style='posix-long-iso' if the locale settings are messed up.
4165 * src/ls.c (decode_switches): Implement this.
4167 2005-11-08 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4169 * tests/du/2g: s/expensive/very expensive/ in a comment.
4172 2005-10-17 Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
4174 * src/ls.c (usage): Fix descriptions of --sort, --time.
4175 Reported by Vitaly A. Ostanin.
4177 2005-11-04 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4179 * src/ln.c: Include filenamecat.c.
4180 (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Remove.
4181 (do_link): Remove last arg DEST_IS_DIR. All callers changed.
4182 (main): Use file_name_concat, base_name, and strip_trailing_slashes
4183 instead of FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT. This simplifies the code, and avoids
4186 2005-11-04 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4188 * src/du.c (process_file): Don't overflow for files of size >= 2^31
4189 on systems with stat.st_blocks of a signed 32-bit type.
4190 This bug causes trouble on some AIX 5.1 systems.
4191 Report and trivial patch from Paul Townsend:
4192 <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-11/msg00033.html>
4193 * NEWS: Mention this.
4195 * tests/du/2g: New (very-expensive) test for the above-fixed bug.
4196 * tests/du/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it here.
4197 * tests/very-expensive: New file.
4198 * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it here.
4199 * tests/cp/perm: Mark this test as `very-expensive', too.
4201 2005-11-02 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4203 * NEWS: Mention that rm -d and maybe ln -d are scheduled for
4205 * src/remove.h (struct rm_options): Remove unlink_dirs. All uses
4207 * src/rm.c (usage): Don't mention rm -d.
4209 2005-11-02 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4211 * tests/dd/skip-seek: Fix typo in comment: s/fileutils/coreutils.
4212 From Andreas Schwab.
4214 * tests/dd/unblock-sync: Redirect stderr to /dev/null so the
4215 `M+N records in/out' lines don't pollute `make check' output.
4217 * tests/dd/skip-seek (sk-seek4): New test, to exercise the bug
4218 fixed on 2005-10-31. This test uses the new, IN_PIPE specifier.
4219 * tests/Coreutils.pm: Accept a new type of input specifier: IN_PIPE,
4220 to indicate that the input file should be piped into the command
4221 under test (via `cat FILE | $prog ...').
4223 * src/remove.c (remove_entry): Emit a better diagnostic when rm
4224 (without -r) fails to remove a directory on a non-Linux system.
4225 This change affects only newer Solaris systems (with priv_*
4226 functions like priv_allocset). Reported by Keith Thompson.
4228 * tests/rm/dir-nonrecur: New file/test for the above fix.
4229 * tests/rm/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dir-nonrecur.
4231 2005-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4233 * NEWS: "tail -c 2 FILE" and "touch 0101000000" now operate as
4234 POSIX 1002.1-2001 requires.
4235 * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Implement this.
4236 Problem reported by Vincent Lefevre.
4237 * src/touch.c (main): Pass PDS_PRE_2000 to posixtime.
4238 * tests/tail/Test.pm (c-2, c-2-minus, c2, c2-minus): New tests.
4239 (test_vector): Add special cases for _POSIX2_VERSION, and
4240 regularize the old ones a bit.
4241 * tests/touch/obsolescent: Add y2000 test.
4243 2005-10-31 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4245 * src/dd.c (skip): Fix off-by-one error reported by
4246 Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
4248 2005-10-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4250 * tests/mkdir/p-3: Require that the test be run as non-root.
4251 Problem and trivial fix reported by Theodoros V. Kalamatianos.
4253 2005-10-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
4255 * src/ln.c (FILE_BASENAME_CONCAT): Omit unnecessary slashes in the
4256 boundary between DEST and SOURCE in the result.
4258 2005-10-26 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
4260 * src/md5sum.c (main) [!O_BINARY]: Changed default read mode
4261 back to text, to sync with documentation and for backwards
4264 2005-10-25 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4266 * tests/dircolors/simple (other-wr): Add an explicit test for
4267 the dircolors bug (NULL-dereference) fixed yesterday.
4269 2005-10-24 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4271 * src/tac.c (tac_file): When determining whether a file is seekable,
4272 also test whether it is a tty. Using only the lseek-based test would
4273 give a false positive on Solaris. Reported by Peter Fales.
4275 2005-10-24 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
4277 * tests/install/d-slashdot: New test, for "install -d" failure.
4278 * tests/install/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add d-slashdot.
4279 * tests/mkdir/p-slashdot: New test, for "mkdir -p" failure.

4285 Anonymous report and patch from
4286 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14849
4288 * src/dircolors.c: Add compile-time assertion that the slack_codes
4289 and ls_codes arrays have the same number of elements. This would
4290 have prevented the above-fixed bug.
4292 * src/expand.c (parse_tab_stops): Add a comment to make this function
4293 identical to the one in unexpand.c.
4294 * src/unexpand.c (parse_tab_stops): Adjust syntax to make this function
4295 identical to the one in expand.c.
4297 * src/expand.c (next_file): Don't assume fopen cannot return stdin.
4299 2005-10-23 Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>
4301 * src/md5sum.c (digest_check, main): Use ptr_align rather than
4302 a dangerous pointer-value-to-`unsigned' cast.
4303 * NEWS: mention the new sha* programs.
4304 * AUTHORS: Add new sha* programs.
4306 2005-08-28 David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr>
4308 Add new programs: sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum.
4309 * README: Add their names to the list.
4310 * src/md5sum.c: Provide framework for computing sha-2 hashes.
4311 * src/Makefile.am (sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum):
